For example, in Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is so set on killing people in order to achieve her goals that she turns to her husband and convinces him to do it instead. The second she involved her husband, she knew the blood would be on his hands. She convinced him to do her dirty work for her and then sat back and watched him murder innocent people, all because of how badly she wanted power.]]> 2022-11-22 23:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394780302 https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394781867 A leader becomes a tyrant when they begin to use their power in brutal ways such as killing or tearing people down. For example, Macbeth could be considered a tyrant since he manipulates people, is demanding, and even kills people to get his way. He abuses his authority, causing him to fall under the category of a tyrant.]]> 2022-11-22 23:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394781867 https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394782870 Hubris can lead to a person's downfall when one's excessive pride causes them to lose sight of their values and become overconfident. One example could be when Macbeth gets named Thane of Cawdor and lets it get to him. He wants more and more power, and he thinks he can accomplish anything because of this. This leads to his downfall because it is easily spotted and places a target on his back.]]> 2022-11-22 23:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394782870 https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394785155 One example of a lesson we can learn from a tragic hero's downfall is staying true to yourself. This lesson can be proved when in Macbeth, he gives in to the peer pressure put on him by his wife. Lady Macbeth is trying to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan. Macbeth stands his ground for a little while, but eventually gives in to the pressure and loses sight of his values. If he were to stay true to himself, he would not be in this messy situation and he could rise through the ranks of power in a respectable manor.]]> 2022-11-22 23:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ttimmons3/15m4ybxhw0f4a40y/wish/2394785155
