Power: Test Question

In a short essay (5 paragraphs) explain this quote:

"Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."

Make sure you  give examples of how this is true both in Macbeth and in real life.
Absolute power does corrupt absolutely and mostly easily, i say this due to Macbeth being able to have a little power after King Duncon was killed and he took advantage of that power instead of putting it to good deeds he did what Macbeth was not able to do in the beginning, by this i referrer to Macbeth sending murders to kill Flence and Banquo because they were suppose to be become kings if Duncan's son's were not to be there.
Lady Macbeth was a big part of Macbeth becoming what he was not. Power got to Macbeth head or Lady Macbeth and it changed him for the worse. Before becoming the person that he died as , Macbeth was innocent and was more respectful to King Duncan, now if the three witches and Lady Macbeth had not filled his head with the idea of becoming king and having power i believe things would have become more smoother.
Some people take advantage of the power they are given, for example, most teachers abuse their power against their students by being to demanding and obsuing the power they have of given too much work. Also, at a job a manager over abuses their power by being to demanding with the workers, for example, my manager acts if he were to be top boss and gives us, workers, to much tasks or too much tasks at one time.
