What makes an individual powerful?
Well, I believe that leadership and going for what you want makes someone powerful. Like, I wanted Macbeth to kill Duncan because that's what I wanted. I wanted him dead and I wanted power. And I kept going for that and striving for the power, and guess what? I got it. If someone just gives up, then they aren't going to become powerful, and if they don't fight for what they want, there voice won't be heard, and they will never be powerful.
Luckily, Macbeth has me to help him. Without me he would just be a loser in the crowd, without any power. Even though he needed someone to start him off in going for what he truely wants, he now does it on his own and is becoming a leader, like me.
I feel bad for the people who don't like going after what they want, and the people who aren't leaders, because then they just stink and aren't powerful, and aren't going to get anywhere in life. Yeah, King Duncan was powerful but only because he was king, but I don't think he was powerful as an individual. He was too nice and people loved him, when you are truely powerful people should be your enemy, not your friend, people should fear you, not love you. King Duncan was never powerful, he was just considered "the king". And that's why I hated him.
In conclusion, I believe that the only way a single person can be powerful is if they're a true leader, and they fight for what they want. I'm a powerful person, and my husband is too, which makes us even better people.
