Macbeth Statements

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.
I agree with this statement. I think that ambition is a good trait to have because if you don't have ambition, you won't work hard for anything. You basically won't care. However, the reason why I don't strongly agree with this is because I feel like if someone has too much ambition, it can be a very bad thing. In Macbeth, Macbeth has lots of ambition to be the thane of Cawdor, but he ends up killing many people to get this. Ambition is a necessary trait to have to get anywhere in life, but if you have too much or you have ambition for something bad then this is not a positive trait to have.

Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.
Depending on what situation this is in, my answer would vary. I think that sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Some people may think what you are doing is wrong, but you and others may not. It is their opinion. However, in Macbeth's case, I disagree with this statement. He decides to kill many people to be the thane of Cawdor, and I don't think this is right. This statement could apply to many different situations.
