ADOLf Hitler
|
During World War II, one man believed he could go against the natural order and destroy a religion as it was not considered 'pure'. This man beloved that he could take control of everyone's lives and direct them towards his vision. This man is Adolf Hitler.
The theme in Macbeth of the overthrow of natural order is evident with this modern day example as Hitler believed he could take control of the German Government and murder millions of Jews as they were considered 'aliens' who were 'unclean' and 'inhuman'. Adolf Hitler and Macbeth are similar as they both went again the 'Chain of well being'. As stated elsewhere, the chain of well being was believed to be the order and social hierarchy system where everybody would remain where they were suppose to be positioned. Hitler believed that he deserved to be the lead in Government of Germany, same as Macbeth who believed he deserved to be King. Both men share the same characteristics. These include, greedy, emotionless, psychotic, mentally unstable and inhumane. Both men created a battle they could not win, and their decisions and orders costed the lives of all those around them, just because they wanted to be in charge, just because they wanted to see their vision. Adolf Hitler and Macbeth both went against loyalty and honour. Loyalty and honour creates a safe and equal kingdom, where peace is upheld and violence is kept to a minimum, but Macbeth and Hitler contrasted this theme and belief as they thought they would place their wants before the needs of the public. This again highlights the selflessness connection between both of men. |
