alongside the essence of human nature. In the play, Macbeth himself bears the responsibility for the Death of Duncan, his king, his kinsman, and his guest. This is shown when Macbeth allowed his gullibility to get ahead of him as he acted upon the witches’ prophecies, when he gave into Lady Macbeth’s taunting instead of standing his ground, and in his reaction to Lady Macbeth’s death. Macbeth lacked the capability to rise above these predicaments and instead decided to succumb to temptation,…
