as a loyal subject of Duncan. Macbeth is
ambitious, and this ambition is a weakness that
allows him to be manipulated by his wife and evil
powers throughout the play. Macbeth s manipulation
is formed in speeches, thoughts, and abnormal
behaviour from many characters. When Shakespeare

report, Shakespeare leads us to believe that he a
virtuous person who does only what is right. Given

Lady Macduff And Her Son Act 4 Scene 1

Although Macbeth does take actions that lead to
his downfall, I believe that he is not totally
responsible for what happens. Although he takes
the action that leads to his downfall, he perhaps
would not have done this if the witches had not
told him that he would be king in Act 1 Scene 3. I
believe that it is the witches are more
responsible for Macbeth's downfall than he is. In
Act 1, Scene 3, the witches tell Macbeth that he
is thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and that he
