It is proven that with power comes responsibility. Some only commit positive actions while in power, but others only think that because of their reputation they would be able to get away with it. Governor Spitzer is a prime and perfect candidate, for he took advantage of his power as Governor. Without thinking of his family, his position in the country, or his reputation as an American, he hired prostitutes, cheating on his wife and taking illegal actions. This forced him out of being Governor as well as publicly humiliating him. Spitzer (click here to see more about Spitzer’s case!),.did this to himself because the idea of having authority got to his head. The reason for him doing this is not justifiable. He had a wife and a family, yet he still destroyed everything he worked hard for. Spitzer thought he would get away with it, but obviously he was mistaken.
Spitzer’s power got to his head, and the Three Witch’s words got to Macbeth, causing him to kill someone whom he trusted. He had a friendship with the king, but just a few uprising words got to his head in a negative way, leading to Macbeth murdering King Dunkin. Macbeth would never have considered killing his friend forpower (click here to see more about Macbeth’s rise for power!),. until he got the idea that he could. Since Macbeth already does have a high social standing, he probably thinks he is capable of getting away with it. I am unaware of telling you he got away with it or not yet because I haven’t read the book, but when I get to that point I will note back to this response. Just like Spitzer’s reasoning was not justifiable; neither is Macbeths, although I can see how he would think it was. He had reason because he wanted power, but this just proves that he has no morals.
