At the beginning of the play Macbeth is described by king Duncan as noble and at
Macbeth is introduced in the play as a “noble” and faithful to king Duncan, until he meets the “weird sisters” or “witches” who catch on to the little bit of ambition and jealousy inside him. They tell him he will become the “thane of Cowdor” which quickly becomes true and he will become the “king of Scotland”. When the first of the two predictions came true, Macbeths ambition grows, when King Duncan announced that his son Malcolm “ shall succeed to the throne” Macbeth is appalled and his thoughts become ominous. When his wife Lady Macbeth hears about “the weird sisters” she too helps the ambition grow and puts evil plans and ideas in his head because she wants to become a Queen. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both love and trust each other a lot. We know this because King Duncan speaks of him as loving his wife “ his great love, sharp as his spur, halth holp him”.
