Macbeth and Pablo Escobar were two men who were driven by their ambition but this ambition eventually comes back to them leading them to their deaths. Shakespeare portrays this tragic hero in a unique way, he is a dynamic hero whom started as a good man until he became aware of his future. Once Macbeth meets with the witches and they tell him that he is going to become king, rather than letting fate lead the way he tries to rush his royalty. Pablo Escobar like Macbeth rushed his rise to power, when he was thought to have had the leader of the colombian cocaine trade killed in 1975. Pablo was able to become the number one drug trafficker in colombia and later the world. This caused him to have a lavish life with lots of money and even more …show more content…
Macbeth was the Thane of Cawdor but he wanted to be king more than anything. The witches had told him that he would one day be king but he did not know how long that would take so when King Duncan had been invited to stay the night at his house he exclaimed that “My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,/ shakes so my single state of man/ that function is smother 'd in surmise,/ and nothing is but what is not”(1.3.52-55). He felt that if he were to kill King Duncan that he would have a better chance of becoming king. Though the witches had never told him that someone would need to get murdered for him to become king, his ambition tempted him to quicken this process the only way he felt he could. This was the beginning of the murderer that the witches had created with the fortune telling. This was also the beginning of his ambition turning into him killing people to keep what he truly desires. Pablo like Macbeth turned his ambition quickly into murder. For Pablo to become the number one person in the cocaine trafficking he had to kill the man that was above him, “In 1975, Medellin drug trafficker Fabio Restrepo was murdered”(Pablo). This killing was thought to be ordered by Pablo himself but unlike Macbeth he did not commit this murder himself. He was not satisfied with his position in the drug …show more content…
Macbeth had become everything that he had ever wanted to be which was the king of Scotland and when the witches told him that someone else was going to take his crown he went to extremes to try to keep them from doing that which was eventually what lead to him dying. The witches had told Macbeth that the sons of Banquo would take his crown so he decided to have Banquo and his son killed Macbeth said, “Our fears in Banquo stick deep/And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared”(3.1.49-51). Macbeth did everything he could to protect his crown, but that is eventually what lead to his downfall and his death. He killed his best friend Banquo which was when his ambition had gone to far and was the beginning of his decline. He was only able kill Banquo and his son was able to escape which was the person that the witches said would replace him as king. He was also challenged by Macduff who he felt he was invisible against until he found out that he was not born of a woman. This is when he noticed that he was close to his demise and he soon after died. Pablo Escobar became very well known throughout the western hemisphere of the world. He had ran from the authorities for as long as he could until “Colombian law enforcement finally caught up to Escobar on December 2, 1993, the day after his birthday,
This was one of his most notable killings but he continued to kill as long as someone was opposing him. He became sick of his run from the law and began targeting civilians in random bombings all over Colombia. One of the worst bombings came when Pablo planted a large bomb on a commercial plane in an assassination attempt on a police chief but planted the bomb on the wrong plane and instead killed 134 innocent civilians and 12 children. It was Colombia's worst act of terror to date. Pablo was reigning terror without consequence but knew he couldn't run forever so in 1991 he designed and built La
When Dennis Hernandez died both of his sons were distraught, but this affected Aaron more as he began using dangerous drugs and joined a gang, contrasting to how Macbeth does not have an event that changes his course, he just becomes increasingly evil, which points towards Macbeth being born inherently evil. Although both Macbeth and Aaron have a foil to show that they have evil inside of them, the main difference between them is that Macbeth was born with evil already inside of him as he is “sick at heart” (73) and Hernandez changed from a “happy- go lucky … kid brother” (Solotaroff, 9) into a ““violent dangerous kid who was violent to all” (2). Aaron let external circumstances, ie. his father dying, change his life in contrast to this, Macbeth became more visibly evil after his fate was exposed to him,
Escobar was born in the village of Rionegro in Antioquia, Colombia, the fourth of six children to Abel de Jesus Escobar, a peasant, and Hemilda Gaviria, an elementary school teacher. Pablo and his family resided in an adobe hut that had no electricity but had running water. This would place him solidly within the middle class in that part of Colombia at that time. Pablo and his brother were once sent home from school because Pablo had no shoes and no money to buy them. Escobar studied political science at a nearby university but was forced to drop out when he could not afford to pay the required fees.
He liked to smoke the strong South American cannabis, a habit he indulged until his death. A craving for easy money had him dealing marijuana by the time he was 20 years old. He was already skilled at stealing cars and disposing of them quickly, he was starting to build a name for himself in the criminal underworld of the city. Luis Esteban, or |”The Snake,” as he was known in the early years, entered the cocaine trade under the tutelage of Chico Ramirez, who tested the young man now known as The Snake by sending him to purchase the high grade coca paste from Bolivia and Peru—a very dangerous assignment. Chico ran the local Cartel and processed the raw material into cocaine for distribution in the city.
The pilot would receive $500,000 per flight depending on the amount of cocaine. In collaboration with Carlos Lehder, he developed a new drug center named Norman’s Clay in the Bahamas as the new island trans-shipment point. Between 1978 and 1982, this location remained the primary route of smuggling for the Medellin Cartel. Political Career Pablo Escobar wanted to become the president of Colombia after he started earning as he saw it, the best way to earn wealth and legitimacy lay in crime. His desire for politics and power of money made him an alternate member of Colombia’s Congress in 1982.
His death was a moment that the American drug enforcement agents as well as the authorities of Colombia had been waiting for for so long. After many years on the run from the police Pablo had developed certain ways of evading them, towards the end of his reigns Pablo knew he was going to be captured so he began enjoying life, leaving strongholds by himself to go get supplies, not trying so hard to be undetected. Once the power has been abused to a certain extent like when Escobar blew up a civilian jetliner and killed hundreds of innocent people there are only two realistic outcomes, prison or death, in Escobar's case it was death. “He built houses and cared about the poor,” one funeral goer stated at Escobar’s funeral in a story reported by The New York Times. “In the future, people will go to his tomb to pray, the way they would to a saint.”
He killed his leader to gain it and he did not care what he had to do in order to get what he wanted. He wanted the control since he never had that ability growing up. Another theory that would relate to Amado was Learning Theory. He was in counter with rival cartels and was always a constant fight with society since the law did not permit him to traffic drugs. These things are what made Amado Carrillo he focused on being up top and did not want to go back to what he used to be.
He was born in the city of Panama. He was the former military ruler in panama who ran a corruption government but, ended when the united states ruled him out in 1990.Although he was a big cocaine traffiker. He was very powerful and worked with other drug dealers like Pablo Escobar and with the colombian medellin cartel. He wasnt only a drug dealer but also had been charged for murdering the ones that where aganist him. After many years of being wanted .
He once in awhile planned out his activities. He murdered at whatever point he craved, at whatever point he saw somebody that interested him. He never took out the additional precautions to cover up or remove any type of evidence of the crime committed. He committed murders in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and all over the place. For instance, at whatever point when Pedro saw little innocent girls that fit his age requirement strolling around with her mom, he would quickly attempt to kidnap her whenever she wandered from her mom.
Drug Trafficking is one of the most profitable occupations in the world. It is also the reason people die every day, from drug overdoses or from violence brought from greed and desire. Some of the most well-known leaders are Joaquín Guzmán, also known as “El Chapo”, leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and Pablo Escobar, leader of the Medellin Cartel. Escobar is arguably the person who made cocaine so popular in the United States with his innovative techniques of bringing it to America during the governments struggle to constrain drugs in the United States. Guzmán is a more successful drug lord than Pablo Escobar for many reasons.
Firstly the first similarity between both characters is that they both started off as a leader at the start of the novel. Jack was a leader of a choir group while Macbeth was a co-leader of Duncan's army battling Macdonwald. Similarly, Jack starts off as the ‘leader’ of his choir who was left stranded on an island which shows they both start with power. However early on in Lord of the flies, Golding uses the quote Jack’s face “was ugly, without silliness” immediately presenting him in a negative light, and his “light blue eyes” were “turning, or ready to turn, to anger”.
