How do you define success? People define success in different ways, such as having a big house or lots of money. However in the eyes of characters from Macbeth and The Social Network it is seen completely differently. In Macbeth characters define success as having power, altering the future, and revenge. In “The Social Network” characters define success as leeching off a business to make money, being a loyal friend and also expanding the business, and lastly to be the wealthiest and smartest person.
The ability to alter the future is seen as the achievement of success to the witch’s. They show this in the play when they say to Macbeth on pages 8-9 of Act 1 Scene 1. “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor and that …show more content…
Macduff on the other hand had a much simpler view of success. In the beginning of the play Macduff achieved success by having a very happy family life.

After getting Eduardo basically out of the company he celebrates by giving 19 year old students cocaine. When the police bust him at his intern’s college party he tries to lie to the cops about the cocaine being his. Showing that he is manipulative but also not very smart. Seeing as he obviously manipulated those teens to do the cocaine. Then he blatantly lies to the cops about the Cocaine being his when the evidence is all on his fingers. He’s just using Facebook to make millions of dollars. This seems very smart because Sean doesn’t have to do much work and makes millions.
