It was passages like these that lead Karl Marx to call religion the opiate of the masse...

951 wordsThe good characters in Macbeth are less interesting than the evil ones. I agree. Everybody has an evil seed planted in them. Only the really evil person acts on them and commits something morally wrong. Like Macbeth. When Macbeth first received the prophecies, he actually considered them.
