Power is Your Downfall
If Macbeth were a woman he would be Adelina Amouteru from the book
The Rose Society. In the first book,
The Young Elites, Adelina discovered that she could make illusions that looked so real that it was impossible to tell fantasy from reality. The Dagger Society took her in and trained her to control her illusion ,for she had, by accident, killed her father with her illusions. However Adelina went through numerous tests to find out that the Angels of Power and Ambition, the Angel of Fear, and the Angel of Fury have a very strong presence within her. That means when she is around fear or hate or is feeling really strongly about something Adelina is stronger. She avoids all of that madness an tries to get strong off the love that she has for Enzo. It work a little too good. Adelina's power grew out of her control and while trying to save another member of the Daggers she ends up killing Enzo, or Reaper as he is better known as. As well as Dante or Spider. Now Adelina has been kicked out of the Dagger Society and is on her own. Adelina is so mad that she is now seeking revenge on all of Kenettra. In the second book,
The Rose Society, Adelina is growing her own society, The Rose Society. Adelina has gained a new ability: mind control. Not only can she control minds she can make the person under her control think that they are doing the right thing. This ability has won over an important asset: Magiano. People of the Sunlands claim that Magiano is the most blessed malfetto of all the people marked by the Blood Fever. He is a huge gambler and a terrific thief. He even stole the crown jewels of Queen Guilietta of Kenettra. With his help Adelina built an army of mercenaries. When the Rose Society went to ambush Guilietta's palace the Dagger Society was there making a treaty with the Queen. Gemma, or Star Thief, was killed in the squabble. After Gemma died Adelina started to control Teren's, head of the Axis Inquisition, mind. Teren and the Queen were lovers, so what Adelina made Teren realize cost Guilietta her life. The Queen has hair darker than night itself. Teren saw a piece of blood red hair: a mark of the malfettos. Teren hates malfettos with a passion and when he saw the hair he killed her by stabbing her in the chest with his sword. Afterwards when Teren came to his senses he broke down and cursed every name under the sun at Adelina. Sick of hearing his shouting, Adelina ordered him to be chained and tortured for what he had done to countless malfettos. Adelina then claimed the throne of Kenettra for herself but instead of feeling satisfied she felt empty. The darkness within her want all the competition to be wiped out. Not only the Daggers but the rest of the kingdoms in the Sunlands.
Now, both Macbeth and Adelina were led to their gain of confidence by an outside source. Since The Young Elites series is not complete we do not know yet what is Adelina's fate. However Adelina and Macbeth have more in common than perhaps fate. Macbeth starts out as a nobleman who is completely loyal to his king and would have never even thought about murder much less his own cousin. Adelina never would have betrayed her country. In fact in the very beginning of book one Adelina was going to flee her home to find solace in the capitol to rid herself of her abusive father. Macbeth only started to plot murder after three witches prophesied that Macbeth will become thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland. Adelina only started to plot murder after Enzo died and she was kicked out of the Dagger Society. Her plan was simple: all those who caused her harm would pay the ultimate price. That included the Queen and Teren because they had captured and hurt Violetta, Adelina's sister. Before either Macbeth or Adelina killed anyone they both started hearing voices in their head. Macbeth heard the consequences of what would happen if he killed Duncan. While as Adelina's voices told her to kill he father. He had hurt her so much that he deserved to die. The royal blood of Guilietta and of Duncan was spilled and the insane murders claimed the throne. After the murders of their friends, Banquo and Enzo, both had hallucinations. Macbeth swore he saw Banquo sitting at his seat at a dinner party and that Banquo was looking at him accusingly with his descendants by his side. Adelina saw her father holding his belt and making Adelina rip off a butterfly's wings and trying to convince her that she enjoyed it. Her next hallucination was of Enzo. Enzo was on fire and was very angry at her for traitorous actions. Both Adelina and Macbeth murdered without guilt. After Lady Macbeth dies and even a bit before that Macbeth shut himself away. He felt no emotion. After Violetta leaves Adelina and a couple months before hand Adelina got very snappy and secluded herself away from the rest of the world. Even though Adelina and Macbeth are of opposite genders, this proves that men and women can be just as equally as crazy as the other.
