Macbeth Case

William Shakespeare, the author of the play MacBeth makes abounding references to the after-effects associated with bribery. The delayed effects are displayed throughout the play: first, Macbeth becomes abject in his chance for riches and power due to unwise decisions; secondly, Lady Macbeth displays bribery through her advancing strange behavior; and lastly, Scotland suffers because of bribery displayed by citizens of the country.
