Power can sometimes change and corrupt a person's perspective and mind on life. Trujillo, the dictator of Dominican Republic during the 1930's is an example of power leading to disaster. At the beginning of his reign, he was a valued leader who administrated political and civil rights. By the end of his reign, the power went to his head and eventually ended up murdering up to 30,000 people due to them being haitians, having darker skin, or going against Trujillo's word. Though the years, Trujillo's power went to his head and that's when his ruling became a genocide. Someone who can be compared to Trujillo at a smaller scale is Macbeth. When Macbeth heard that he could possible become King, he took matters into his own hands instead of waiting of the right time. Macbeth decided to kill King Duncan, who was ruling at the time, so he could become king. his reason for killing Duncan is understandable, but it at no means justifies his wrong doing.
