You have some good observations of what power does do to one's selfworth. I like how you have metnitoned power changes one's decesions. can you bring in specific egs from the play and back it up with quotes to prove your point. that would be a good start for an essay. Or do you think M wanted power and never knew how to get it until he met the witches and had his wifehelping him?
