• What can destroy or build a persons self worth?
A lot of things can determine whether a persons self worth is very high, or very low. For example, in the play Macbeth, his self worth was high at the beginning, and then it dropped drastically. It was high in the beginning, because he was very confident in himself to kill the king(which happened in act 1) it dropped a lot in my act (act 3) when he saw the ghost of Banquo at his dinner. He felt very guilty about his actions, thus causing him to make a huge scene in front of all of his guests. So lying and cheating can destroy a persons self worth, and accomplishing what you sought out to do, can build your self worth.
• How does one define a persons self worth?
A persons self worth, is defined by the person him/herself. Nobody else can tell you how to feel about yourself. Unless you have a very low self esteem, and you believe and listen to all the negative people tell you about yourself. In Macbeth, Banquo showed how high his self worth is, when he came back as a ghost to haunt Macbeth. If he didn't have a high self esteem as a human, he wouldn't have a very high one as a ghost. In Macbeth's case, he made his self worth very low, by all the wrong decisions and actions he has made, he has become to doubt and guilt himself. Not a very high self esteem I must say.
Interesting take about coming back as a ghost and self worth. Something to think about. You do have goods point showing what builds it and destroy it in your scene. As you watch others I am sure you will be able to add to what destroys it.:)
