Kobe’s Shakespearean downfall
As a teacher of ”Macbeth” and as a reader of the media frenzy of Kobe Bryant’s transgression, I have noticed similarities between Shakespeare’s antihero and the athletic icon of teenage boys. Even though Macbeth’s swift, brutal, and bloody ascension to Scotland’s throne differs from Kobe’s rapid, elegant, and gracious rise to pop culture deification, both men stubbornly worked to mask their darker sides.

Funny how the media hypes up someone only to pull him down at the slighest hint of a scandal.
If he is innocent, kobe will come out of this scandal a wiser man, I am sure.
