Macbeth (Themes (Ambition and Power (The fatal flaw (His need for power…

- - - - His need for power leads to his own destruction
      - The only thing motivating Macbeth to kill Duncan is his 'vaulting ambition', like a horse jumping over an obstacle (metaphor)
      - Lady Macbeth shares the same fatal flaw
    - - Macbeth can't accept that Banquo's descendants will become Kings after him so he has Banquo and Fleance murdered
      - He is also not willing to share some power with his wife as he keeps making secretive decisions and apparently doesn't care when she dies
    - - Duncan is too kind and generous making him not a good King as he is weak
      - Macbeth is strong but his need for power makes him a tyrant
      - Malcolm is powerful but also generous so he combines the good qualities of both Duncan and Macbeth
