This is one of the reasons why he is a tragic hero. Then the witches tell him that he will become thane of Glamis and Cawdor and then king ifScotland. In this point of the story Macbeth begins to portray his dynamic character by having thoughts of killing the king. Since he killed the king these made people suspicious this meant that morepeople would have to be killed, and this included Malcolm the king's son who was next in line for the throne. At this point Macbeth experiences the first of a number of breakdowns, and he begins tolose his human characteristics.
Furthermore, Macbeth’s desires make him responsible for his loss of moral values and eventually his life. Since Macbeth desired to clear his name he killed a lot ofpeople, but it only made things worse. For example each person he killed resulted in another that needed to be killed. Macbeth begins to lose his conscience. When Macbeth kills Banquo and his ghostappears Macbeth’s guilt is practically gone. By the time his wife dies we begin to feel pity for Macbeth since he becomes so depressed. Macbeth is completely crazy at this point, and he begins tobelieve solely in the witches’ prophecy that he cannot be killed by "a man of woman born"(Shakespeare. This belief results on his death.
