    Something that I would never relate back to the Bible is Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth. Shakespeare has written multiple works of art but unfortunately, he cannot claim full ownership for the idea of Macbeth. His interpretation of Macbeth could be considered a bloodier, and crueler, version of Genesis 3. The one thing that stays the same throught everything is greed. Fortunately, Shakespeare is a little different in his approach of Temptation and the Fall of Man in comparison to the Bible. He…
