After going through a deeper analysis, the quote now illustrates that sometimes the people who perform evil or immoral deeds can get ahead in life at a faster rate then the people who take the moral path and perform good deeds. People acting morally may sometimes be making a dangerous and stupid mistake as the immoral was the easier way to go, with less obstacles. The quote to Shakespeare references how the Macduff family is acting morally right by committing no sins. Macduff goes to support the rightful and non-murderous heir to the throne, Malcolm. However, the person performing evil deeds has all the power and glory as the King. Macbeth killed Duncan and will kill Lady Macbeth and her family. The actions allow him for the time being to keep his prominent position as King. For me, the quote expresses how you will not always be noticed or praised for doing the right thing. The immoral and evil deeds are unexpected so they recieve more attention over the positive ones. However, I believe based on the play that even if evil deeds will bring a person more praise and attention at the moment, ultimately their evil acts will catch up to them and make them fall.

A young lion, Simba is promoted as prince of the Pride Lands in Africa. After SImba's father dies, his cruel uncle pushes him out by claiming he killed his father. While the uncle rules with an evil spirit , the prince grows up beyond the Savannah, living by a philosophy: No worries for the rest of your days. He stays with Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and warthog. He finds Nala a lion from his past and they fall in love. She pushes him to return home as Scar has turned the Pride Lands into a mess. Simba has to go back and try to earn his place as king back.

The Lion King Connects to the quote on the basis that evil is often praised and devilish acts can be the most glorifying. When Lady Macduff describes creating harm as "often laudable" she is illustrating how wicked and immoral actions can create the most success and attention for individuals. In the Lion King when Scar grows jealous of Mufasa's power and Simba's destiny to take power, he decides to act immoral and take advantage of the situation. He pushes Musafa off the edge of cliff after he tricks Simba into being caught in a hyena area. Scar kills Musafa like Macbeth kills King Duncan. Simba runs off out of shame, like Malcolm runs off to England. Scar is able to take power and recieve glory despite is evil actions of killing the King and one of his family members like Macbeth. Scar reaps the benefits of holding power and having a glorified life for years as Lady Macduff proclaimed.

During Hurricane Harvey, individuals died or were hurt in the natural disaster as they tried to do good deeds. One twenty five year old man, Andrew Pasek,  was "on a mission to check on his beloved older sister’s cat when he stepped on a live electrical wire in ankle-deep water." People who were in the storm sacrificed and put their own health on the line in order to help others out. This is connected to Lady Macduff's assertion that positive and kindhearted actions can be "a dangerous folly." By trying to save an animal and act nice towards his sister, the Pasek made a dangerous mistake that cost him his life. Lady Macduff created the idea that a good deed can be a dangerous and stupid mistake after Macbeth shadily took the crown and is sending murderers to kill her and the rest of her family. The theme that generous, kind, or smart actions can be risky and unsafe is apparent with some of the lives lost in Hurricane Harvey. Lady Macduff has not acted wrong and yet there is no simple way to rid herself of the danger that will follow her. By living a morally right life and her husband going to support the rightful heir, she is left trapped in misfortune. Her family is in danger because of trying to do the right thing like the individuals acting o good conscience in the hurricane.

The North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un acts tyrannical and oppressive towards his citizens, but he maintains power. He forces his countrymen to act subordinate by enforcing a fearful environment in the nation. He has "ordered the executions of at least 340 people since he came to power." The evil dictatorship Kim Jong Un runs allows him to be praised and loved. Citizens are afraid of criticizing their leader because they will be punished. Therefore, all of his evil deeds with executions, sexual abuse and more.  This follows Lady Macduff's idea that "to do harm is often laudable." Kim Jong Un terrorizes his entire county but is praised from fear. He is able to control and have absolute power because of his evil actions. This follows Lady Macduff's message that evil actions can lead to praise and be more beneficial to an individual even if it is wrong and undeserved.

At the Charlottesville protests, Trump asserted how both sides were to blame. The white supremacists were praised by people sharing their beliefs along with the former Ku Klux Klan leader who also praised Trump by asserting how "Trump’s statement was fair and down to earth." This connects since the people fighting for anti-racism and justice were thrust into danger. Lady Macduff asserted in part of her comment that "to do good sometime accounted dangerous folly." This correlates with the idea that to act good is sometimes a dangerous choice as shown with the violence that ensued at the protest.

3. The third time I used the quote in conversation was at the dinner table with my parents. They responded by wondering what in the world I was saying. My dad told me to stop acting so strange. He then proceeded to ask what I was quoting.

2. The second time I used the quote was at golf practice. We were warming up on the driving up when I said "Listen up." As I said the quote, my teammates looked at me with a blank stare. They were extremely confused what I was talking about. However, Nikki Effner who was also reading Macbeth was aware of the situation. She gave a simple reply by saying "Oh Shakespeare."

1. I first used the quote in ASB while having a group meeting. We were filling out our Homecoming review when I spoke out. People reacted by questioning what I was saying, but one individual called me deeply insightful.

I initially thought the quote was intriguing since it came from Lady Macduff who is only involved in one scene in the entire play. Her lines made me question whether the evil deeds are actually praised more in different situations.I also was curious about the wording since I did not understand what the term "laudable" meant. Also by referencing the "Earthly world," I was curious if the quote could also have a spiritual or ironic meaning.
