Macbeth: Macbeth's Personality
... complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as ...

Macbeth Is A Tragic Hero
... witches'
prophecy. Macbeth does not begin to become evil until he is convinced to act on
the prophecy by Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is the evil one who poisons
