   Human nature doesn't change. People do, thoughts do but the way we are doesn't. All humans are different, you will never find two of the same human, but we are all made up of the same materials. We have emotions and brains, we use are minds for logic to counterbalance are emotions which we use to experience things and we must use both to try and live life to it's fullest. We all have the same emotions and we all have a brain, what makes us different is the amount we use of each. Shakespere's work does a great job of showing the different ways people use emotion to go chose their goals, and logic to gain them. He also shows the consquencies of taking it past the point of humanity and into the path to your own demise.

   Macbeth wanted to be king, so he killed the king to gain the crown, but the act lead him to insanity because his guilt was drowning him, so he forced him self to ignore it and live with what he had done  as a being that found that kind of behaviour natural. In today's world we are still effected by are emotions, people use them as a guid to gain their happiness. People go after what they think will make them happy, like Macbeth and power. In Macbeth's case he took it to the point that he would do anything to have the crown, without realizing that there was a price. People still do this toady, let are ambition lead us to the point where the lines of right and wrong blur, and cloud are judgement. Not letting are selves realize we can live without what once seemed a need, only to become a want.

  Fate and free will play a part in Macbeth as well. Macbeth lived in a time where freedom was something you were born into. We still have societies like that, but we also have the possibility to rise from it, back then that dream was better left in bed. People didn't hope to rule the castle if they were a slave, they hoped to survive the night. This is why people in today's society tend to under appreciate how far we have come and why what we now have shouldn't be taken for granted.

  Finally I'm going to discuss is reality and appearance. Macbeth tried to keep it a secret that he killed the king, but to all outside viewers it was obvious that he was deteriorating. People try to deceive others  to rely an image of what they want the world to see. Teens do this to survive high school and avoid bullying employees do this to make an impression on their cliental, we all try to show the world what we want them to see, rarely what we are, this makes the person miserable. We'll many hide their true feelings better than Macbeth, being something were not leaves us with a bitter taste in are mouth, leading to unhappy lives. We do how ever have rules that must be followed to a certain extent making it's hard to find a balance between what's allowed and what we are.

  We'll society has changed as humans adapt. People keep common traits from their ancestry, though we seemed to have change from what we once were, in truth only the environment outside us changed and we adapted as we do, at are core we are still the same as we were back in the time of Shakespeare and Macbeth.
