Modern Day Comparison
A modern day character that is similar to Macbeth is Plankton from SpongeBob Squarepants. Macbeth was a strong and brave Scottish, but not a very smart one. He wants to be the King of Scotland, but Duncan is already in that position. He is easily tempted into fulfilling his ambition to be king by the three witches. Macbeth envisions a dagger with him holding the handle and the sharp end pointing at King Duncan. After he went into the King’s chamber, he walks out with hands that are covered in blood. He is shaken from what has happened and quotes, “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood/Clean from my hand?” Lady Macbeth responded by leading him to the bedchamber to wash off the blood and tells him, “A little water clears us of this deed.”
Plankton from the SpongeBob Squarepants is very similar to Macbeth because he also wants to be king, but the king of fast-food in Bikini Bottom. Mr. Krabs is the king of fast-food joints with his restaurant called the "Krusty Krab" in Bikini Bottom because of his secret formula.Plankton opened up his own restaurant called the "Chum Bucket", but it was horrible and it had no customers. Outraged by what has transpire, Plankton tries to develop a plan to steal the "secret formula" for his own. Both Plankton and Macbeth want to be king to be powerful. They are not afraid to take that spot by force.
