James Holmes told psychiatrist he has 'regrets' over theater shootings
This news article relates to Macbeth’s theme of guilt and
regret by guilt of killing. Two years ago James Holmes
killed 12 people at a Colorado movie theater, he told the doctor he has tears
and regrets over the shooting. Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
This relates to Macbeth because Macbeth feels guilty immediately after he kills
Duncan and regrets he had done this. This is similar to James Holmes case because he
also feels guilty after killing people. Macbeth shows guilt when he saw Banquo’s
ghost and almost revealed the truth because of how much guilt he had. Macbeth is insane for seeing ghost and Holmes got pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Therefore, with
wrong actions always come consequences of guilt and regret.
North Korea defector living with quarter of a century of guilt
This new article relates to Macbeth’s
theme of guilt and regret by the wrong decisions made. Oh Kil-nam defected from North Korea 25 years ago,
but his wife and two daughters remain behind. Oh feels guilty for making a
foolish choice he made causing his family to suffer. This is similar to Macbeth
because Macbeth also feels guilty for making a decision that ruined his life.
If Macbeth didn’t make the decision in killing king Duncan he would have lived
a peaceful life as thane of Cawdor. Lady Macbeth and his best friend Banquo wouldn’t
have died and most importantly he wouldn’t have died. Therefore, making a decision a wrong
decision can be regretted for the rest of your life as explained in Oh’s situation
and Macbeth’s situation.
Cruise line
regrets failure to help stranded Panama fishermen
This new article relates to Macbeth’s theme of guilt and
regrets by actions taken. An American cruise line has said it "deeply regrets" the
deaths of two Panamanian fishermen amid claims that one of its cruise ships
failed to help their stranded boat. This is similar to Macbeth because Macbeth
feels regret for his actions of killing. In this case, the cruise line didn’t take action
in helping the stranded people. They both feel guilty for not doing the right
thing. Macbeth could have not killed Duncan, he knew it was not the right thing
to do, but he ended up killed Duncan anyways. The cruise line obviously knew it was the
right thing to save the stranded fishermen, but failed to take action. Therefore, take action and do the right thing or else guilt and regret will haunt you.
