Macbeth is a tragic story of the struggle between good and evil.
the weird sisters, or Lady Macbeth for the evil deeds done but I believe that Macbeth.
himself was ultimately responsible for his own downfall. I also believe that you can't .
determine his downfall by one single cause but rather three forces: supernatural, external, .

victims, and is left at the end with no hope. .
After the witches" awaken his desire of becoming King, his wife begins to push.
Macbeth towards the real act of murdering Duncan. This would be the external force.
Lady Macbeth thinks she knows exactly what her husband wants - to become King, and.
