Deterioration of Macbeth

Santiago Rodriguez Deterioration of Macbeth In all the tragic poems written throughout history, the main character or the hero of the story always has a flaw that causes his or her final downfall. Since Macbeth is no exception, as the rest of the tragic heroes, his weakness causes him not only a breakdown, but also his death. Macbeth character deteriorates completely through out the story due to a moral conflict caused by his ambition, and …

…him. As all the tragic heroes, Macbeth proved to have a flaw. It was ambition what completely changed Macbeth. It caused an inner struggle that almost tears him apart. Even though he seemed to have a very strong personality, his conscience made him weak and careless. He changes from a loyal soldier to an unscrupulous conceived tyrant. It was his lust for power what made him change, and what ultimately made him disintegrate. Bibliography MAcbeth
