Each author, with immense captivation, portrays his respected characters with noble beginnings unadulterated of any corruption. Ambition has not yet overwhelmed the minds of these two respected characters, which therefore, gives them a chaste disposition. Jack from Lord of the Flies is introduced to the reader in a "holy" aura with the description of his choir; " Their bodies, from throat to ankle

This sample of power gives both characters further aspirations for additional clout, like a sharks reaction to the first taste of blood. Virtue has been forgotten and once moral men have been swallowed up by the cravings of greed with the search for more abundance of power. Evil has seeped through each character, diminishing their moral code in the name of attaining their esteemed goals. Both state their feelings in different ways. Macbeth, seconds after hearing his new appointment states, " If good, why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs, against the use of nature? Present fears are less than horrible imaginings; my thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical," (1. 3. 135-39) Jack although less apparent, also show his attentions to overtake all leadership. His constant disagreement with Ralph exhibits no respect and shows his aspirations of taking total command. Instead of looking over the fire, Jack deliberately disobeys the order made by Ralph and goes out hunting instead. (Golding 77) Ambition has driven evil spirits, which will not die until their dreams are accomplished.

Ambition still put in overdrive; the two fiends go over the edge by losing every single ounce of dignity left in their vicious soul. Diminishing to the lowest form of humanity, each tyrant commits atrocious undertakings deliberately on the most innocent of the populace. Arguably the most defenseless member of the group in Lord of the Flies, Piggy's death brought supreme dishonor in Jack's reign as leader. (Golding 200) Although Jack did not pull the trigger in throwing the boulder, his approval alone demonstrates the evil intentions that captivated his mind. Equally malicious if not worse due the maturity that age has brought him; Macbeth sets out and kills the most vulnerable as a method of revenge. Having seen Macduff's non-attendance at his banquet as a personal insult, Macbeth commits a cowardly act by sending troops to slay Macduff's innocent wife and children. "The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Seize upon Fife; give to the edge of the sword his wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace his line. No boasting like a fool; this deed I'll do before this purpose cool." (3. 1. 150-54) All scruples that once existed in Macbeth as a noble general has been burned by the fire of evil that now lights his nucleus. Once dreams and ambitions of power have been achieved to reality at the costly price of their souls. Both characters now encompass full-blown hatred and can represent symbols as harsh as the devil.

(1. 2. 16-23) The sergeant's account of the war, gives a picture perfect image of Macbeth, as a hero that has put Scotland on his back, carrying the country to freedom.

, were hidden by black cloaks which bore a long silver cross on the left breast" (Golding 21) Conveying religion into Jack's first emergence shows the likely innocence encompassed in the boy's life prior to crashing on the island. The induction of Macbeth also renders an uncanny depiction of a noble general, saving his country form domination and tyranny. " For brave Macbeth, - well he deserves that name, - disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, which smok'd with bloody execution, like valour's minion carv'd out his passage till he fac'd the slave; which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell
