Macbeth invading soap operas and real life.

Nowadays, many elements presented in the book Macbeth are part of current lifestyles, and in much more cases, in stories. Elements such as ambition and feminine manipulation, coupled to  the guilt  and the capital sins, give form to the soap operas',  TV series, reality shows, and even in our realties themes. In first place, one of the TV genres most representative of this implying of themes based  on Macbeth is the soap opera. In almost all the series concerning to this theme, the principal cause for all problems in the plots is ambition; for example, the enterprise owner's partner  is the manipulator of conspiracies and murders all among the story, but at the end of the story all his/her actions turns against him/her and finally love triumphs. 

However, in real life treason and power fights are too common for our society. Maybe because since ancient times, the power was a crucial  reason for beginning a war in order to expand their territories, or likes in the Crusades, to spread the catholic religion all among the european continent. Other point very common between real life and Macbeth are the capital sins and the double morality in characters. Basically, in real life the double morality is over abused, because is a social hypocrisy used to blame and to exonerate powerful people crimes , or only to avoid embarrassing situations that can devalue the person's position.

There are too much more elements of Macbeth invading all what we know, but also is work of western societies for change the bad points in common between this play and real life, and in a more proportion, it is work of the individuals to change their habits into new ones that can make a better world.
