William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a tragedy about a war hero named Macbeth, who
follows his ambition with evil and who is repaid with evil. Macbeth has influenced many
works of literature through its conflicts between good and evil; heroes and villains;
loyalty and treachery; and ambition and morality. In the story, Macbeth is ultimately
responsible for the actions that lead to his fate. Although the witches’ predictions are
responsible for influencing Macbeth’s thoughts, no one tells Macbeth to kill Duncan.
Macbeth is responsible for putting power into the hands of Lady Macbeth and letting her
influence him. Finally, Macbeth acknowledges his guilt of wrong doing and is thereby
responsible for his actions. Macbeth’s ambitions spur him on to follow an unstated yet
clearly understood plan to kill Duncan. Although the witches’ predictions initiate
Macbeth’s desire to become king, no one tells him to kill Duncan. When the second
prophecy becomes a reality, Macbeth immediately thinks of murdering Duncan. ... For the first time in the story, we see a dark side to the brave and
courageous Macbeth.
