The Cause of Evil Macbeth
Macbeth, once a noble and courageous warrior is transformed into an egotistical and ruthless tyrant. In the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth encounters a transformation which brings him the crown, as well as his death. However, this transformation reached the point it did because three motivational factors. Throughout the tragedy the Three Witches (along with the prophecy), Macbeth's himself, and Lady Macbeth were motivational factors that manipulated Macbeth into committing murder and treason. Although it is Macbeth who is at blame for his actions, it is these three motivational factors that caused him to complete those actions. If it were not for these people, Macbeth might have taken a different path and could have continued to be the gracious and admirable warrior that he once was. The Three Witches were a major influencing factor in Macbeth's demise. The Three Witches were the birth of Macbeth's transformation. They were the ones who told Macbeth the prophecy; the prophecy that seemed to have sparked Macbeth's evil wrath, "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!/ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" (1
For instance, when Macbeth is questioning whether or not he should murder Duncan, Lady Macbeth fools Macbeth into thinking about how any real man would commit the murder: What beast was 't/ then,/ that made you break this enterprise to me?/ When you durst do it, then you were a man;/ And to be more than what you were, you would/ Be so much more the man (1. The Three Witches and Lady Macbeth influenced Macbeth. Macbeth took the prophecies that he received and turned them into his own personal reassurance:Bring me no more reports. He transforms from a valiant warrior into a corrupt murderer. Lady Macbeth is very ruthless when it comes to accomplishing what she desires and that is obvious because of how she deceives Macbeth. Although the Three Witches played a part in Macbeth's transformation, it was Macbeth himself who kept reassuring himself. Lastly, Lady Macbeth was a selfish woman who played Macbeth for a fool and used him to gain her fancies. Furthermore, Macbeth creates a false sense of mind and forces himself to believe that the words of the Three Witches are true. Macbeth's incorrect conclusions formed from the apparitions and his own interpretation of the prophecy, lead to his ruin. / Till Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane/ I cannot taint with fear. Even though it was Macbeth who carried out the crimes, they were the thoughts of other people. The Three Witches, Macbeth's own unchecked ambition and Lady Macbeth were the motivational factors which ultimately lead to the doom and destruction of Macbeth.
