Comparing Leaders In Fellowship Of The Ring And Macbeth

Good and Bad Leaders in The Fellowship of The Ring and Macbeth When I was a child, Sunday School was mandated so every Sunday while the other boys and girls my age were getting their much needed beauty sleep, I was violently awoken from my slumber to go to an extra day of “school”. At least that’s how I felt about it back then. In Sunday school they talked about this extraordinary man named Jesus who seemed to my small little brain to have lived a perfect life. He was given the power to love everyone even if they despised him, and his goal was to save everyone by allowing them to get to the afterlife. I remember a story about Jesus that had me awestruck reading about it in my comic book bible. The legend of Jesus was spreading around the ancient

The fact that the conversation even happened between Macduff and Malcolm shows Macduff’s devotion to his country and his fallen king because he made the trek away from his family and his known lands to do anything he could to bring down Macbeth. Additionally, when Macduff says “I shall do so; But I also must feel it as a man.” The “I shall do so” refers to how Malcolm thinks Macduff should react and retaliate, which is to blindly charge in and exact revenge upon his family’s murderer, and Macduff’s response displays his courage because of his willingness to exact the revenge, but it also shows his temperance in the line after when it shows how he’s in touch with his emotions and doesn’t need to make an emotional decision just because it’s how Another instance where Macduff’s admirable temperance, courage, and devotion are on display is when he is searching for Macbeth outside Dunsinane Castle, “That way the noise is.

It might have been mine! It should be mine, too! Give it to me, he said! Give me the Ring. “ (Tolkien). Boromir clearly gave in to the power of the ring and even Frodo acknowledged it when he said, “You are not yourself.” Boromir makes it clear the ring has him seduced with it’s power when he repeatedly says it should’ve been his and then repeatedly asks Frodo to give him the ring.
