Born Good

Februay 19, 2012

In my strongest opinion, I believe that man is  born good and innocent, and that society is the cause to evil. Nature is also an influence on evil because my surroundings is nature, and that caused me to turn evil. I used to nuture my loved ones, but then i realized power was more important to me than taking care of others.  I know that  am an evil woman, but I would not be the devilious woman I am today if it werent for society changing me. For instance, I turned completely evil when I was informed of the Witches' prophecies. When I heard my husband Macbeth was going to be king in the future, I made sure it would happen by planning Duncan's murder. I was power hungry and took my ambition too far. I am partly responsible for the murder, even though I did not do it myself. Babies are born innocent and good, but as they grow they are affected by the people around them, making them either good or evil. I, myself am an evil woman. I will not deny this because I know it is true. But I do  know that when I was younger I was not evil. I was a very good and innocent girl who was afraid of a lot but never took actions to protect myself. However, things changed as I grew older and wanted more out of life. I thought the only way to be happy was to be in charge of everyone. This meant that I needed to be queen and my husband king. Once I heard  about  the prophecies, I knew that if it was ever going to happen, I would need to take action and do it myself. So that is exactly what Idid. Society caused me to help with Duncan's murder causing me to turn evil. This proves that man is born innocent and good, but can change to evil when influenced by society.

Sincerely,
