Don Quixote and Macbeth

Both characters are mad in that the world they imagine is one which is not real. Macbeth sees the world as full of forces which will prevent him from achieving his ambitions unless he destroys them. In seeking his own glory and honor, he becomes a god unto himself, loses all knowledge of good and evil and becomes utterly mad and self-destructive as a result. Don Quixote, on the other hand, is mad in that he romanticizes the world. He sees enemies where they do not exist, but he is in a state of grace in which his madness is expressed benignly. His is a comic and harmless madness, in contrast to the tragic and destructive madness of Macbeth.
