By studying a Sociology degree, I would like to develop my…

Macbeth and the Birling Household are at a pinnacle point in their careers but because of their fatal flaw; their ambition, they are on an immediate downfall. Macbeth- a play written in the 17th century for King James 1 is set in a society predominantly obsessed with the esoteric. Superstitions…
