Power: Test Question

             Absolute power corrupts absolutely is a very down to earth quote  because this happens both in stories but also in real life. Once you have absolute power you don't care about anyone but you self. You don't care if the decisions you do affect everyone else because you are only thinking about your self. Its like once you have total power you forget about the real reason why you go that power in the first place. Power changes you completely with out you even knowing. If you are driving to get total power you do what ever you need to do to achieve that total power which corrupts you absolutely.

       Macbeth had the absolute power after they had killed king Duncan Macbeth became to change it to a complete total person. He didn't care about anything anymore he just wanted to stay in power no matter what the obstacle was. He was going to over come it at any cost he need to do. He went out of his way to get in touch with murders because he feared that his beloved friend Banquo was going to turn him in and Macbeth would lose his power. He decided to leave all of that behind. To keep his total power he killed his own friend not him self but he had fault in it to.

    An example of a real life is when you have been working for years as a person who helps a person that has a better role than you in a company. That person has told you you are almost there just a few more things and you become head of the the company because with your brains we will get very far. While in the other hand your friend are there telling you not to get your hopes up because you don't know truly that they are really going  to give you that spot. Once you get that total power it corrupts you absolutely that you don't even know it. You change your ways you don't talk to those true friends that where there with you step by step because they have a lower spot than what you have. Now you think you are better than anyone in that company.

     Lady Macbeth is another person that lets total power get over her had. She doesn't care about how her husband achieved that total power. That power became to ambition to her because she treated and talked to her friends and guest in such a stuck up way. She would always be sarcastic and would not care if what she said hurts you. Total power corrupts her is such a big way that she and other people don't seem to realize it. Power made her do things you didn't even think she would do just for total  power.

       Having absolute power is such a big scary thing if you let it get over your head. But if you know how to control it then is doesn't corrupt you in any way. But if you don't know how to control it you change in a total different way, you are just not your self. You don't care about any one else but your self. You don't care who you hurt as long as you get your way and what you want all the time.
