Ensayo sobre la ceguera vs. Macbeth

A Bridge of Ideas

Despite the stark difference in their settings, the profound 5-star ratings you've given to Saramago's *Ensayo sobre la ceguera* and Shakespeare's *Macbeth* reveal a shared exploration of how the erosion of sight, or the blinding ambition, strips away societal veneers to expose the raw, often horrific, core of human nature and leadership. You've intuitively recognized in both works a brutal dissection of individuals and societies under immense pressure, showcasing not just the consequences of blindness but the blinding nature of unchecked desires. This connection highlights your keen interest in the psychological underpinnings of crisis and the precariousness of civilization when fundamental faculties or moral compasses are compromised.
