EXCESSIVE AMBITION

MACBETHTRAGIC HERO

In order to satisfy his overwhelming desire to become King of Scotland, Macbeth decides to kill King Duncan. This TRAGIC FLAW ultimately leads to his downfall causing paranoia, irrationality, and the death of many.

KING DUNCAN GAURDS 1 & 2 BANQUO FLEANCE MACDUFF LADY MACDUFF SON OF MACDUFF YOUNG SIWARD

"Please stop! I dare to do only what is proper for a man to do. (Act 2, Scene 2)

By insulting his PRIDE, Macbeth, a loyal thane, is convinced to commit the highest act of treason

"But why couldn't I say "Amen?" I desperately needed God's blessing, but the word "Amen" stuck in my throat. (Act 2, Scene 2)

"I demand to be satisfied. If you refuse, let an eternal curse fall on you. Let me know."

Macbeth's PRIDE leads him to believe he can kill King Duncan and future heirs without consequence.

"Curse you for telling me this. You've frightened away my courage. I don't believe those evil creatures anymore. They tricked me with their wordgames, raising my hopes and them destroying them. I won't fight you (Act 5, Scene 7).

Macbeth's PRIDE leads him to revisit the witches in Act IV, Scene I to demand more insight into his future success. He is tricked with false security as he is blinded by his pride.
