Like Winston, Macbeth’s thoughts are also not in the right headspace to some people, “Some say he’s mad, others that lesser hate him Do call it valiant fury. But, for certain, He cannot buckle his distempered cause within the belt of rule” (V II 13-16). Macbeth did not have a clear head when making decisions, and like Winston, was thought to be deranged. Macbeth lets people influence his choices to make him mad, “What beast was’t, then, That made you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; And to be more than what you were, you would Be so much more the man” (I VII 47-51).

Both greed and power, if not controlled, can lead to destruction. Throughout William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, Shakespeare uses both characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to demonstrate how ambition can change one’s personal relationships. As in the beginning of Act 1, Scene 7 Macbeth and Lady Macbeth do not share the same ambition, and it is because of this that their relationship lacks love and affection however through the use of persuasion and other means, Lady Macbeth is able to get Macbeth to pursue her ambition. This not only changes their relationship drastically but it also changes Macbeth’s attitude towards ambition. Throughout the play, Shakespeare shows us through Macbeth, the possibility for ambition to eventually turn into greed and how the lust for power may corrupt us.
The skills most important to obtaining power and leading effectively are the skills that deteriorate once we have power. In most cases true leaders won’t abuse the power that they are given and they will use it for the better good. If it gets into the wrong hands then it’s more then likely to be used in a selfish way. The play is about a soldier who wants to be king because a couple of witches told him his fate. He planned to overrule the kingdom and after he did that he had everything, but it just wasn’t enough.
One of the reasons the throne holds the most power is the rewards and allure of the throne, one of the rewards of the throne is that Macbeth gets a title for himself, (Macbeth, 1,3,48-50) (‘’All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!

Macbeth was screwed from the beginning. Macbeth is a play in which a war hero is introduced to a prophecy that ultimately leads to his own demise due to the impact of his greed. Shakespeare’s Macbeth teaches us that human flaws such as greed can easily lead even the most noble and honorable of people down a dark path. This is shown through the change that Macbeth went through after hearing his prophecy and becoming consumed by greed.
Greed for power has always been evil and even made a saint turn into a demon. As the quote goes “All power tends to corrupt and an absolute power corrupts absolutely” (unquote), which is true not only in the fictitious stories but also in real life and Shakespeare, th9e greatest writer ever known, has always been in habit of making fictitious character come alive and Macbeth is no exception to the rule. The character of Macbeth has two sides, one which is wholesome while other been dubious. He symbolized great ambition but went overboard and in the process not only became corrupt but also became a killer. Macbeth reflects great strength but within he has his own weakness and thus good over took evil resulting in its downfall and finally his own death.

Hamartia is the fatal flaw of a tragic hero. Macbeth’s hamrita is being too ambitious. One if the time that Macbeth showed his ambition is when he killed Duncan. Macbeth killed Duncan because he wanted to be king, but before that, Duncan, the King of Scotland had just pronounced his son next in line for king. Macbeth says this to himself when he is preparing to kill Duncan.
Duncan: "... I have begun to plant thee, and will labour "To make thee full of growing..." Banquo: "There if I grow, "The harvest is your own..." (p. 10) In context, this exchange between two of Macbeth's noblest characters is merely expressing the reciprications between favor and reward. In a broader sense, however, the quote resonates with this Biblical principle: "A man reaps what he sows" (Galatians 6:7b).
This led to him going insane. Macbeth didn 't have to do this, he had already been promoted and had a better job than he had had beforehand. he was very well off and did not need the responsibilities of a king. he could have moved on and lived his life but, he killed the king.

Why would Macbeth, a noble, kind hearted man who was destined to become king, abuse his power after taking the crown from an obliging king?
