The movie made it easier for people to feel for Chris because he was friendly and gentle. It allowed people to admire him for pursuing, his dreams. However, the book made it seem like he was foolish and selfish, and was caught up in this illogical mindset. “Roman, Andrew, and I stay up well past midnight, trying to make sense of McCandless’s life and death, yet his essence remains slippery, vague, elusive.”(p. 186) This left people to think that he deserved to die for his arrogance.

It represents the efforts Macbeth and Lady Macbeth go through to cover up the crimes they have commited. They imagine that the blood never leaves their hands, and the truth of what they did never escapes their minds. The crime of murder carries a guilt that neither one could discharge. Although Macbeth thought he found happiness as the king, his guilt dug him into an even deeper hole of unhappiness, leading him to kill Banquo, MacDuff’s wife and son, and young Siward as well.
