Macbeth is characterized as a greedy man who will stop at
nothing short of murder to get what he wants. Although he is greedy, he does think twice
about murdering Duncan. After his wife, Lady Macbeth, challenges his manhood, he gives
in to her manipulation and proceeds to murder
Duncan.
Macbeth desires to be king after hearing the
witches prophesy about it. A seed is planted in him and he goes after the throne through
murderous deeds.
Of course, Banquo heard the witches
prophecy; therefore , Banquo must die according to Macbeth. Again, he is responsible for
another murder. Macbeth killed or had Macduff's family killed because the witches had
told Macbeth to beware of Macduff. He killed or had someone kill Macduff's wife and
children so Macduff would not have an heir. Again, Macbeth proves to be a cold-blooded
murderer. He is in a murdering frenzy. He is power hungry and his way of thinking is
deranged.
Actually, he does begin to see visions and
hallucinations. It appears that Macbeth is losing his mind.
