This is the first instance of Macbeth being a tragic hero in the play, as the audience feel that he should not trust the witches because he doesn't know about them fully yet. But he is oblivious to others" thoughts and believes that everything the three weird sisters say is the truth, as they correctly predicted he would become the Thane of Cawdor.
We, as an audience begin to see Macbeth reveal his evil thoughts in his first soliloquy. Macbeth thinks about taking the prophecies into his own hands to become King. However, while he is thinking about this, I still believe that he wouldn't go as far as to actually turn his thoughts into actions, as he is too afraid. The use of sibilance when he says, "Shakes my single state of man," shows this. However, at this point he has not told his wife, Lady Macbeth, who is key to his downfall and him actually committing the murder about the situation.
When Lady Macbeth finds out about the prophecies in a letter to her from Macbeth, she analyses his nature, and then says, "What thou art promised, yet so I fear thy nature/ It is too full o'th"milk of human kindness." This tells the audience that she does not believe that Macbeth is not capable enough to commit regicide, as he is too kind. It is Lady Macbeth's pressure that causes Macbeth to commit the murder. She then says, "And that which rather thou dost fear to do/ Than wishest should be undone." This shows that she thinks that Macbeth's fear is so great that he cannot carry out the murder.
As soon as Lady Macbeth sees her husband she pressures into killing Duncan. After finding out Duncan is staying at their castle that night, she immediately says, "O never/ shall sun that morrow see." B7y this she means that Duncan will never see morning again as he will be dead. She tells Macbeth to deceive Duncan by being, " like th"innocent flower/ But be the serpent under't." However, Macbeth temporarily brushes aside her comments, saying, "We will speak further-" and not paying much attention to what his wife has to say.
