The ultimate downfall of Macbeth would not take place without the initial prophecies of the witches. His demise is outlined in the suggestive words of the witches when they first meet. They entertain the prophecy that Macbeth “shalt be king hereafter!” (I,iii,54). The success of the first two prophecies of becoming the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor raises ambition for the last to be fulfilled. In foretelling that Macbeth will take over as the king of Scotland, the witches lead him to assume murder as the only way to fulfill the prophecy.

It becomes obvious by the murder of Duncan and, also, by the subsequent acts of the play that Macbeth ultimately follows Lady Macbeth’s moral opinions.…
The female gender usually does not have qualities traditionally associated with males. In the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth is one character who’s masculine qualities are greater than her feminine qualities. Lady Macbeth’s self-masculinization inevitably leads to her death. In the play, Lady Macbeth’s masculinity leads to her selfish ambition, diminishes her female qualities that were traditionally seen in women in the Elizabethan Era, and leads to her domination of her husband by manipulation. Therefore, Lady Macbeth’s masculinity in Shakespeare’s Macbeth overwhelmingly and inevitably leads to her demise.…
