Macbeth: In the beginning, you can see that there is no visible flaws, but as if you pay attention to the way his friends talk about him being such a good leader and strong, noble warrior, others say he is a more cold and brutal warrior. By them saying he’s a cold warrior suggests to me that he might be getting carried away and acting in a savage manner and I think it could cause him to constantly think that way bringing out his darker side on the people he cares about.

His first flaw would be when my prediction actually happens and he finds himself in a dilemma when Duncan becomes king and Lady Macbeth starts brainwashing him and forces him to kill Duncan, plant the daggers and wipe the blood and two guards to try and raise the suspicion off of himself and it did work and nobody knew who it was, or no one would have even suspected that Macbeth would even do such a thing as to kill the most powerful, respected man in the land.

Macbeth’s second flaw is when he was told by the 3 witches that in the future Banquo was going to become king, so Macbeth thought the only way he will become king is if Banquo is dead, and that’s exactly what he did. Macbeth hired assassins to kill Banquo and that was the last time he was seen. Later in the story his guilt gets the better of him and he totally loses his mind, it all happened when Macbeth is having a feast with friends and family and suddenly his eyes lock onto something, that something was Banquo’s ghost coming back to haunt Macbeth because Macbeth was the one who actually had him executed.

Scrooge:
In the beginning of the story A Christmas Carol the character of Ebenezer Scrooge is portrayed as a stingy and tight fisted old man.
A perfect example of this would be on page 4 where it says “Scrooge had a very small fire for himself but his clerk’s fire was so much small that it looked like there was one single coal, that’s goes to show his stinginess.

But as the story goes on his flaws come with it. On page 11 his image as the tight fisted old man turns into the horrible, cold hearted old man, it all starts when he is walking home and he is stopped by a charity worker and is asked could he make a little donation and scrooge returns with “if they would rather die, they better do it quick and decrease the surplus population” ,that goes to show how evil he can be.

But the same with Macbeth, it caught up with him and later in the story he has 3 visits from 3 different ghosts: past, present and future and they make him realise that his attitude and his manner will end up with him dying a very lonely man. In the end of the story he fully ends up cleaning up his act and transforming himself in to a brand new Ebenezer Scrooge for good, so he pays a visit to his nephew and has a meal with him, then he goes into his shop and say’s to his clerk “I’m giving you a pay rise” and as he’s walking down the street he greets everybody with a simple “Hello or Merry Christmas” and the people are shocked because scrooge has never liked Christmas or even attempted to or in fact even think about saying hello. But the last thing he does gives a morel to the story, he sees the charity worker and gives him a donation, and that morel is no matter how bad your personality is, you can still change for the better and there is no limit to how long you take making that change.

CONCLUSION:
The conclusion is the two characters have two different persona’s and totally different flaws. Macbeths flaws where jealousy and mixed emotions which lead him to murder two people: Banquo and Duncan and in the end Macbeths actions caught up to him in the end when Duncan’s son murdered Macbeth in battle and beheaded Macbeth as a trophy as revenge for his father’s murder.As for Scrooge his flaws where his manner, attitude and disbelief, his actions caused him to have a lot of hatred behind him until he was told that his actions were not getting him nowhere and he ended up changing his act and proving to everyone that he is not the same person he used to be.
