    When the witches tell Banquo that his children will be kings, Macbeth was also present. In which case Macbeth should have realized that Banquo 's sons would be a threat to him. But Macbeth was unable to see the larger image and only focused on what would happen to king Duncan, he did not expand his imagination but simply kept to the right side. Ofcourse later on Macbeth begins to see this, but it is too late and people have already begun suspecting him of killing King Duncan. If we look at the situation from another angle we might also find a paradox, would Macbeth have become king if the witches had not told him about his future in which case, Lady Macbeth would have never received the letter and couldn 't have persuaded Macbeth into murdering King Duncan. This also links back to belief and religion where if you believe something you would most likely strive for it and succeed.…

    Ross, a thane, walks outside the castle with an old man. They discuss the strange and ominous happenings of the past few days: it is daytime, but dark outside; last Tuesday, an owl killed a falcon; and Duncan’s beautiful, well-trained horses behaved wildly and ate one another. Macduff emerges from the castle and tells Ross that Macbeth has been made king by the other lords, and that he now rides to Scone to be crowned. Macduff adds that the chamberlains seem the most likely murderers, and that they may have been paid off by someone to kill Duncan. Suspicion has now fallen on the two princes, Malcolm and Donalbain, because they have fled the scene. Macduff returns to his home at Fife, and Ross departs for Scone to see the new king’s coronation.

Macbeth’s dangerous quality of ambition brings about his downfall as well as his treachery against his king, his tyranny and also his imaginativeness that eventually lures him into the murder. Although Shakespeare suggests that Macbeth’s decisions were greatly influenced by other characters in his text, it was Macbeth that ultimately decided to listen to these influences due to the many faults in his character.…
