THE PRICE OF AMBITION
Macbeth’s fatal flaw is political ambition, and then going on a killing spree. Likewise: Johnny Casper takes over the rackets in Miller’s Crossing; Norville Barnes ascends the corporate ranks in The Hudsucker Proxy; Llewelyn Moss grabs the cash in No Country For Old Men; and Ed Crane, noodling Californian barber in The Man Who Wasn’t There, is seduced by the dry-cleaning business.
