Macbeth
Who or what is responsible for the downfall of Macbeth?
I have been given an essay to write about who or what is responsible for the downfall of Macbeth. I think that the terrible downfall of Macbeth was not only by one single cause, I think that there are mixtures of three dark forces that lead him to his downfall. I would say that the three dark forces are the three witches, Lady Macbeth, his own ambitions. When reading he play we all see that success in life for Macbeth becomes uncontrollable, and anyone can easily persuade him to do evil actions to achieve his gold.
Macbeth's ambitions play a very big part of his downfall. After Macbeth hears the witches' prophecies he imagines ahead and asks the witches for more information. He tells his wife what the witches told him. Lady Macbeth persuades him to kill King Duncan but the good side inside him is keeping him away from killing Duncan but eventually Lady Macbeth persuades him enough and this is when the evil inside him takes over him. Now that Duncan is out of the way and Macbeth is king he is never advised by the witches or his wife to kill Banquo and his son, this done by his own actions and ambitions.
After Macbeth is named king, his sadness and the downfall is caused by his own ambition. Now Macbeth's evil ambition is determined to take control of his future. I say this because firstly he is told by the witches and then he is advised and persuaded to go and kill the king by his wife, she persuades him and blackmailing him by saying he is a coward, "And live a coward in thine own esteem" (act 1, scene 7) and she uses all sorts of methods to convince Macbeth to go and kill King Duncan. Then Macbeth goes and kills King Duncan, his next victim to be murdered is Banquo and his son Fleance but that thought was from his own mind to kill his best friend and his son just to keep his place as the king. Macbeth has thoughts that he is unsafe and firstly he suspect Macduff. When Macbeth finds out that Macduff has fled to England so instantly he seeks vengeance by having Macduff's family murdered. When Macbeth gets Macduff's family murdered, this is one thing that gets Macbeth fall from the position he was to the position he is at, and this is because the murder of Macduff's family is a work of disgust and vengeance. Macbeth's downfall was also because of Lady Macbeth's illness because it made him more sad and rejected.
