Responsibiltity for one's acti

An individual makes many decisions in his or her lifetimes that will determine the outcome of his or her life. The decisions made are made by the individual alone. Therefore, every individual is responsible for his or her own actions. Others may influence the individual however; the outcome of the choice made will still be the responsibility of the individual making the decision. In the great Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth, the protagonist, Macbeth, kills King Duncan …

…knew it was a sin to kill King Duncan and is remorse with guilt when he says “This is a sorry sight.” (page 39, act II, scene ii). Every individual will hear the phrase “you are responsible for your own actions” at some point in their life, including Macbeth. Although the Three Witches and Lady Macbeth influence Macbeth, he is ultimately responsible for his own downfall because every individual is responsible for his or her actions.
