The dagger is the first of the several visions shown to Macbeth but he cannot tell whether they are real or imaginary. They are symbols of the power of evil spirits in his world and of the evil that is growing inside him or t could be the witches playing around with him. He is a man of action but he loses his sense about what’s right and wrong. His second vision is the ghost of Banquo, where he feels trapped, and confines as his great occasion, the banquet is ruined. Macbeth relentless rises to his power when he betrays himself when he sees the ghost. The way he talks to the ghost exposes him to suspicion, just at the end on ACT 2 when he tried to explain why he killed king Duncan. But before he could say much lady Macbeth asks the guest to leave.
Macbeth shows no signs of fear when Macduff was coming to battle. He knows he was going to lose, as he believed that life was a stupid game signifying nothing.
At the end of the play Macbeth stopped thinking about the future and now looks back to the past, perhaps with regret to the loss of the kind of man Macbeth could have been and almost was, but for the contradictions in his character and his fatal mistake in giving in to his ambition.
Macbeth has made sure that all the obstacles in his way are out just like he got rid of Duncan’s kids, banquo and Macduff. He got his throne and so has lady Macbeth but none of them are happy over the fact that they re going to rule Scotland.
Macbeth is again feeling guilty about the crime he has committed. His attitude towards his life had changed. From good to evil, which he totally cannot handle being? There is still a little bit of good left in his heart, which appears as guilt.
The three apparitions who are an armed head, a bloody child and a child crowned with a tree in his hand. When the witches show him this, his worst fears are realised, his hold on the crown will be only temporary. He finds it painful to look at what the witches show him. He sees a row of kings’ stretching out before him with banquo smiling and pointing at them to show that they are his descendants.
In spite of everything, Macbeth resolves to fight on. He says that that those who used to be nearest to his heart will be the first to die. Although he probably also means that whatever he decides in future he will do it straight away without hesitations. This comment is ironic because the next person to die in this play is lady Macbeth. to some extent it is true that she dies because of his actions and in a literal sense she murders herself.
Through the development of this tragedy, Macbeth has turned from a well natured person to an evil person. His ambition, strong belief in the witches has bought him to a tragic end of his life and caused many people to lose their lives.
