Macbeth - Thematic Discussion

-
The theme ambition is seen through several of the characters throughout the play, Macbeth. Ambition plays a key factor in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s decision to kill Duncan. The main cause of this wants to kill  Duncan his for his throne as king that the witches promised Macbeth on act one scene one. Macbeth possesses enough self-awareness to realize the dangers of overzealous ambition: “I have no spur / To prick the sides of my intent, but only / Vaulting ambition which overleaps itself / And falls on the other” (25-28).

He meets these witches and they tell him that he is to be crowned King and take King Duncan's place and that was the beginning of the end for him. Through the book, Macbeth tries his absolute hardest to control his fate and destiny which is to become King. He is not very certain he wants to kill King Dun
