Shakespeare reveals how easily swayed the human mind can be by temptation. Both good and evil can be found in every human being, but not always in proportion. The comparison of Macbeth’s reaction to his prophecy and Banquo’s shows that not all have the same balance of morals. The prophecies used in this play lead to the breakdown of the once loyal, heroic Macbeth and his violent death. Did Macbeth set himself up for failure or was cruel death his fate all

Possibly the worst sin that Shakespeare warns about, envy is the sin that has no good whatsoever. While others such as lust may have immediate good effects then terrible effects later, no good comes from envy. It makes one so unsatisfied with oneself and fills one with hate for the one who one is jealous of, that it could permanently hurt you. This is something that is evident in Macbeth in the play. “The prince of Cumberland!

The two themes work together to teach the audience that when ambition is unchecked by moral considerations it leads to disaster. The first example of this was when Macbeth killed Duncan. His better judgment told him not to yet his ambition overrode him and in result the night was faced with numerous encounters of chaos including the Earth shaking as if it had a fever. After this first endeavor, Macbeth continued to disregard his morals and let his desires run his actions. In doing so, he murders Banquo and faces an unnatural ghostly consequence.

The first Stuart King of England, King James I was one of many who believed in witchcraft, so much that it led to

“A man with too much ambition cannot sleep in peace” as stated by Maxx Mitchell.

Or have we eaten on the insane root / That takes the reason prisoner.” (I. iii. 83-84). Despite the fact that Banquo has spoken to the witches himself, watching them vanish into thin air further encourages his doubt.

Why does Macbeth fail? Well to start off failure is everywhere in life which is no exception to Macbeth but with Macbeth there’s a problem for some reason Macbeth can’t accept the fact he fails. Macbeth is constantly failing to achieve what he hopes to accomplish, due to the fact that he was trying to fight something that he cannot stop.

Ambition is a strong force of human nature, which can turn people evil if it takes control of them. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are perfect examples of these type of people. In Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are both thirsty for power which leads them to their ultimate demise. People might expect that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have a mundane husband and wife relationship, but instead they are in a divergent relationship, which causes them to influence each other in a way that lead to their downfall. The ambition that Macbeth and Lady macbeth have for power was portrayed by their motives, morals, goals, relationships, consciousness and personalities throughout the play.

Thus, in William Shakespeare’s classic play Macbeth, the author suggests that an individual’s identity is often an illusion voiced by crippling desire and the influence of others. As creators of turmoil by nature, the witches catalyze changes in Macbeth that enable his transformation from a righteous military general into a committed megalomaniac. Furthermore, they inspire the awakening of Macbeth’s ambition and fool him by providing a false sense of security.

Whilst there is death and sadness in his other plays, to be sorted with his Tragedies the plays must end in the main character’s death brought upon them due to their own faults.

In the play, Macbeth, Macbeth’s poor choices combined with ambition and lack of character led to tragic consequences. Macbeth’s choices have a significant negative effect on several characters’ well - being in the story. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth want to have the throne of Scotland for their own separate, selfish intents with little regard of the consequences. There is a dividing crowd of readers who either believe Lady Macbeth’s effect on Macbeth created a “sinful monster”, who can’t stop killing and doing whatever it takes to have the Scottish kingdom’s throne, or believe that the whole predicament was Macbeth’s own doing. Macbeth’s fear of fear was his downfall.

The wicked sisters are easily to be identified as witches and their true nature is revealed. Those that deal with witchcraft have given up their claim to either masculinity or femininity. True witches use the duel gender roles to take the fertility of their victims, but only to those who fall for the tricks.

Macbeth’s desperation and the decision of overly trusting the Weird Sisters in Act 4, taking their forecasts too literally as well as letting others’ ideas influence him eventually leads to his downfall as their main goal is to create evil and dominate his mind. This is where Macbeth’s character shifts significantly as he becomes increasingly confident and puts his ambition over conscience. As a result, he is no longer honored and respected by the people of Scotland and he hates to admit that he is not able to govern properly as he wishes the doctor can cure the country. It is evident that others perceive Macbeth from this point on as a madman and devil especially with Caithness and Angus’ descriptions of him being a “dwarfish thief” and unfit for being the king as he claimed it illegally while not realizing the demands upon him. He lacks the greatness, character, and ability to fill the role.
