The novella Animal Farm written by George Orwell shares this theme of a lust for power. A pig named Napoleon could be described as the Macbeth of this novella, starting off as a successful tactician, and then becoming a ruthless dictator. In the third scene of the first act of Macbeth the protagonist meets the Witches and hears the prophecy which states that he will become “thane of Cawdor” and “king hereafter”. Soon after the meeting, Macbeth is given the role of Thane of Cawdor, since the predecessor was executed for being a traitor; this gives some truth to the Witches prophecy, and makes it much easier to believe. Along with this, Lady Macbeth is also hasty to pursue the prophesised power, and manipulates Macbeth into committing the first deed.

Zakaria Talha Naciri Final Paper Tuesday, March 10th, 2011 Introduction The greatest successes of the world literature were often done in the Epic style, in a world where heroes fight against each other for glory or defeat.
