Lady Macbeth's Tragic Flaw

This is kind of expected from him though because he pushes her away throughout the play. He does his own murderous deeds, and doesn’t ask for her input. After the murder of Duncan it was like Lady Macbeth was a mother bird kicking her babies out of the nest so they could fly. She urged Macbeth to kill Duncan to get the crown from Duncan, and this one little murder opened up a whole new world for Macbeth. He even says,”I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o’er.”(3.4) In this quote he is saying that is already so deep in blood and murders, that he might as well keep going rather than trying to turn himself around and become an honest man again. All of these things put together really show us how much Macbeth changed throughout the play, and how much his attitude toward his wife changed. He went from being loyal and dependent on her to not even caring that she died and ruthless. Macbeth really was an evil man, but he was the evil man his wife

In Act I, the three witches visit Macbeth and Banquo on the heath. The witches make three predictions; Macbeth will be the Thane of Cawdor, he will be King, and Banquo’s sons will be king but not Banquo. Even though the witches did make these prophecies, Macbeth’s fate was

Every human being has a weakness and that weakness is pride. ‘Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted (Matthew 23:12, The Bible)’. Pride is a natural flaw that most people do not realize. Some can control it, while others let their pride blind them from logic and truth. Naturally, Macbeth has this attribute and he demonstrates it throughout the play. Shakespeare purposely introduces Macbeth as a proud character. The witches’ prophecies give him his confidence. And as his confidence grows, so does his pride until it eventually consumes his power-crazed mind.

Macbeth's character contains fatal flaws that cause him to do evil. These fatal flaws are a limitation to Macbeth's otherwise worthy character, and they include over ambition, greed, a power hungry nature and a weak will. For example, in Act 1, Scene 7, lines 25-28, Macbeth admits that the only reason he has to kill the king is ambition, which isn't a good enough reason. "I have

Although Macbeth was of noble blood, his belief in fate will be the fatal flaw to bring on his downfall. First, three witches plan to meet with Macbeth who upon meeting state, “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter.” Yet Macbeth doesn’t know it at this point that he will have to go through a tragic suffering to do so. Soon after he becomes Thane of Cawdor he and Lady Macbeth dirty their hands with Duncan's blood so Macbeth could become king. Second, Macbeth’s lineage was of Scottish royalty. Macbeth was the cousin of the king, Duncan, whom he was very close to before the deed had been done. Killing the king brought mental suffrage to Macbeth and his wife both. While feeling He also ordered the murders of Macduff’s family and Banquo

Within these excerpts, Lady Macbeth certainly doubts Macbeth to accomplish his aspirations. The clearest piece of evidence that Lady Macbeth worries of Macbeth's flaws occurs early in her speech. Lady Macbeth states "Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be/What thou art promised: yet do I fear thy nature. " Her first words can be interpreted as praise for Macbeth, who the witches claimed would be king. However, as presented in the second line, she introduces the controversy to his promise of ascension to the throne.

    "...Go pronounce his present death,/ And with his former title greet Macbeth."  (Act 1, Scene 2, 64-65)     Though the word "death" in this sentence refers to the former thane of Cawdor's demise, Shakespeare uses the clever trick of foreshadowing Macbeth's downfall by coupling the word "death" with the word "Macbeth" so early in the tragedy.  The quote has another importance  it introduces the ideas of treachery and personal gain from less-than-legitimate means, two characteristics Macbeth picks up on as the story advances.  We are introduced to Macbeth as a hero, a slayer of the Norweyans, even "Bellona's bridegroom, lapped in proof" (Act 1, Scene 2, 54), but by the end of the play

Like every tragic hero, Macbeth suffered from a flaw. In his case, his flaw was his strong ambition, combined with a thirst for power. Ambition alone is not a bad trait, but when added with a lust for power, this ambition can become dangerous. At the beginning Macbeth was seen as brave Macbeth and shown as a loyal and brave solider on the battle field. That ambition always resided within him but did not cause a problem until the prophecy was made by the witches.

Macbeth’s tragic flaw is his ambition and it consequentially leads to his downfall and ultimate demise. Macbeth is a tragic hero who is introduced in the the play as being well-liked and respected by the general and the people. He brings his death upon himself from this tragic flaw. His strengths turn into his weaknesses and his ambition drives him to the edge and sets himself up for his tragic death.

Macbeth’s tragic flaw is his ambition. Macbeth’s ambition spurs his rise to power when the witches tell him that he would become the king of Scotland. This prophecy leads Macbeth to kill King Duncan in order to become the king. The murder of King Duncan Textual evidence that supports this is “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!” (Macbeth 1.3.49-50).

One of Macbeth’s largest character flaws is his ambition. He also suffered from being far too prideful and being easily influenced by others. Macbeth was prideful, easily influenced, and seduced by his own ambition leading to his own demise. Pride was a major character flaw for Macbeth. This is evidenced by Lady Macbeth being able to persuade Macbeth into killing Duncan by questioning his manhood.

The line above is from a song that I think would fit the character of Macbeth. In the the play the audience gets to see if Macbeth is sane, his shame for his wrong doings, and the fact that he knows what he is doing is wrong. In the play the viewers gets to see all the elements of a tragic hero, as well as experience a sense of hope for Scotland.

Macbeth knowing his wife would love to be queen shows the ambition for power they both have and the trust and honesty they have to build up on the great relationship they have. It is evident that Macbeth isn’t only thinking about the power he will have by being named King and Thane of Cawdor, he also believes his wife has the right to power and he knows that she will help him make these prophecies come

    Macbeth's tragic flaw in character was the paradoxical pairing of his ambition with his passivity.  Throughout the play we see many examples of Macbeth's conflict between his ambition to attain the crown and his passive attitude towards the actions that are required to obtain it.  Macbeth's ambition is first

In conclusion, Macbeth's fatal flaw is ambition, which prevents him from reigning over Scotland for a long time. Macbeth's ambition causes him to act rashly and eventually drown himself in blood caused by his ambition. Reading the play through the lens of Macbeth's ambition shows that ambition drives the plot and is key to the
