Macbeth

Macbeth We see in the play Macbeth that when the motivation to succeed in life becomes overpowering, he falls from a state of grace to a descent of insanity. He had many influential people that led him to this fall. The witches and the apparitions, Lady Macbeth, and lastly Macbeth's own insecurities and misguided attempts to control his future. In the beginning, we see that Macbeth is very content and happy with his life. Everything is going good with him and his family. That is until he has an encounter with the witches one afternoon. They inform Macbeth that he will be king; this apparition given by the witches makes Macbeth contemplate Duncan’s murder. He obviously has great faith in the witches' words because Macbeth immediately writes Lady Macbeth. "'They met me in the day of success; and I have learned by the perfectest report, they have more in them than mortal knowledge." (Act I, Scene 5). These predictions caused Macbeth to begin to slip into his on world; he started to believe that he could do whatever he wanted to please himself. Lady Macbeth was the second influential person in Macbeth’s life.
