i have an essay where i have to compare a contemporary figure to a character in macbeth. i picked chris brown because he had a great career and now hes ruined because of the rihanna incident. i'm assuming it'd be easiest to compare to macbeth himself, so all i can think of is that they were both great people/role models before but now they're considered bad and dangerous.
so if anyone has read macbeth or knows anything about it.. i would LOVE for you to help me throw around some ideas/comparisons to chris brown. thank you thank you thank you!

In acient greece, there would be a few general idea's that stories would be based on, and these would be performed as plays. Macbeth plays on the classic Fall of a hero character. It goes like this:
- A man, isnt all that great
- Somehow, he reaches the top of his 'field'
- However, he has ONE flaw, that he cannot control, and this is eventually the fall of him, where he goes from everything he could have, to nothing, and usualy dies because of this.
