Many authors share a common thread in their writings, allusions to biblical concepts. The Bible is one of the most influential texts of all time and its presence is visible through countless works of literature. One of the best examples of a literary work fashioned after biblical elements is The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. “Christian philosophy,” says Walter C. Curry, “recognizes two tragedies of cosmic significance: (1) the fall of Lucifer and a third of the angelic hosts, who rebelled against God and were cast out, and (2) the fall of Adam. who was originally endowed with perfection and freedom, but who opposed his will to God and thus brought sin and limited freedom to humanity. '.... 'Macbeth's fall draws the combined power of Lucifer and Adam.' “Fall of Man” and “Victory in Christ.” The story of the "Fall of Man" in the Bible, better known as the story of the "Garden of Eden" or "Adam and Eve", is the story of how sin entered in the perfect world. that God had created. According to Genesis 3, the book and chapter in which the story is found, God gave Adam and Eve, the only two humans ever created at the time, a perfect place to dwell, a paradise called the Garden of Eden . This garden had everything they needed and it was good. They had only one condition, they could not eat from the tree that was in the center of the garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because God said so. that if they ate it, they would surely die. Well, one day a snake came, or should I say Satan disguised as a snake, so to speak... middle of paper ......e became a woman. We could therefore say that Macduff and Jesus Christ were not born of a woman. This is our first indication that Macduff is definitely representative of Jesus. Our second and final clue that Macduff is playing Jesus lies in his final defeat by Macbeth. When Jesus died on the cross, he redeemed the world from its sin. Through this redemption, He canceled the old era of laws due to Adam's sin and ushered in a new era with different rules no longer governed by the effects of Adam's sin. This is why some people call Jesus the second Adam, because he was the turning point and the changer of Adam's sin. When Macduff kills Macbeth he literally undoes everything Macbeth has done, he decapitates him and takes this sinful nature and exposes it and says I now control this instead of it controlling me and determining my path..
