Zaroff says he started hunting the most dangerous game because he was bored. in your opinion, is this the most common reason why people do bad things?

Boredom is not a common reason.

Explanation:

I don’t think being bored is the most common reason for people’s bad behaviour. Sure they can use it as an excuse when the main reason behind their actions are much more deeper but they don’t want others to know about it.

However, I think people do bad things out of emotional damage, heavy resentment, anxiety leading them to bad decisions or just a psychiatric condition. On this case, I think the last option is the one that suits best.

in macbeth, banquo, who in real life had willing in the murder of king duncan, is portrayed as a loyal subject of the king himself. many analysts believe that shakespeare had done this in order to king james, who supposedly was a direct descendant of banquo himself.

hope this ! : )
