William Shakespeare through one of his most well known plays.
portrays a tragic downfall of a king through his ambition and human.
weakness. Shakespeare develops the play Macbeth by showing the changes in.
the protagonist and the effects others have on him.
.
Shakspeare's use of detail helps to show the changes in Macbeth.
through a gradual process. Before actually completing his horrendous act.
of killing the much loved King Duncan, Macbeth suffers mental conflict.

ambition which leaps over itself and falls on the other" and the "deep.

the first act, Macbeth exposes sensitivity and knowledge of what he may do.
is wrong. Possibly the one time when the reader can relate to Macbeth the.

takes him is the human flaw of ambition. As time progresses and.

enemy" and making sure that he is left "no rubs nor botches in the work".
Macbeth is obviously afraid of experiencing the same emotional trauma of.
his first murder. Although he think he is solving his problems, his.
