Macbeth

If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
I disagree with this because having power doesn't always give people happiness. For example, all celebrities sort of are considered powerful either because of their voices or natural talent. This power isn't very favorable at times. Some times when they just want to be left alone, and all they want to do is be a normal person this power can affect them negatively instead of making them happy. This saying ties in with Macbeth because him and Lady Macbeth believe that power is the key to happiness. If he is king of Cawdor he will forever be happy.

Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.
I disagree because in my family my dad is the least "violent" out of all of us. My dad is the only guy because we have my mom and my 2 sisters. Everytime the family as a whole is arguing about what we want for dinner or something stupid, my dad is always the calm one. I also disagree because in Macbeth his wife is urging him to kill the current King of Cawdor, as he is undecided if he should. Therefore, this shows that Lady Macbeth is more violent and less compassionate than Macbeth.
