Given the situation, the ideal individual would have undergone the same
alteration as did Macbeth. Presented with an equal degree an opportunity, one
would have become very eager and anxious, thus carrying out the same criminal
actions that Macbeth himself conveyed. A person, always eager to gain endowment,
would jump at the chance to acquire that power as soon as possible, no matter
what they had to do. This is the situation Macbeth was in. He was seeking the
throne, and only wanted to find a faster way to obtain that authority, thus he
killed, lied, and cheated his way to that place of honor.

<view this essay>.... since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
At what it did so freely? From this time
Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valor
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat I' th' adage?"

"In Cold Blood" Review
<view this essay>.... the law. Other subplots that are
shown are Smith's internal fight with his past in which his father deserted him,

tension between Smith and Hickock. They think differently at times, especially
when it comes to the discussion of the crime. You can't help but feel

I think that Hickock and Smith are not victims of forces beyond their
control, they ar .....
