Macbeth, the main character of the story and undergoes many changes. In the beginning, he had many good qualities of himself but as the story goes on those qualities start to change into something else, something evil. For example, His Kindness quality, his ambition changes after meeting the witches, and his Tyranny ways change. Macbeth ends a whole new person by the ending of the story and not in a good way.
His kindness quality was one that people could see in him before even meeting him. He was nice, he was kind, but after Macbeth met the witches an evil switch went off in his head and that changes him. His wife, Lady Macbeth knew this quality really well and says, "Yet I do fear thy nature;/It is too full o' the milk of human kindness/To catch the nearest way." (1.5.14-16). She says this before Macbeth decides to kill King Duncan and it flips the switch in his head and unleashes the beast that kills the King.

There were evil thoughts of an ambitious nature in Macbeth from the beginning. When he finds out that Duncan had made him Thane of Cawdor, he lets the temptation go suggested by the words of the witches, and lets his ambitious thoughts to have influenced his actions: "Why do I yield to that suggestion /Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair/And make my seated heart knock at my ribs/Against the use of nature?"(1.3.134-137). He starts to make sense of the witches’ prophecies and has the ambition to become king but is not willing to commit murder until he talks with Lady Macbeth. When King Duncan announces that Malcolm is the Prince of Cumberland, Macbeth finds himself face to face with crime his ambition is to be reached, he says,"That is a step/ On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,/For in my way it lies."(1.4.48). And in another 3 scenes, he says “I have no spur/To prick the sides of my intent, but only/vaulting ambition.”
