: 5{ou may be right. But can we consider macbeth
: as

: Macbeth is the quintissential tyrannical ruler, a
: terrible one who does not commit his evils merely as
: goals in and of themselves, but kills so many people
: in order to protect his power. His only redemption is
: the guilt he feels for what he does...not that he
: overcomes his wickθdness, making him weak.

: He's not pure evil, though, no, not like Iago, the rare
: but very real archetype that only occassionally rears
: his hideous head in our world; Macbeth is mainly a
: Stalin, or even a Ramphis.

As a side note, Macbeth doesn't kill all, and I'm not even sure he kills most of the Thanes of Scotland.

Good points, Archer.
