Macbeth is good

      He was a good man, capable of serving his family, the royal famly and the country nobly. He was an efficient soldier and worthy of respect. It was his ambition that became the cause of his downfall. He let his 'vaulting ambition' get the better of his morals, his values and defeat his clear sense of purpose. The Witches' prophecies coupled with his wife influence were able to spur him on to action and do what he later regretted. But none of this would have possible, had it not been for his ambition, which was an inborn, innate thing. It wasnt his evil nature. It was his greed for power.After the murder of Duncan and the guards Macbeth begins to distrust Banquo and knows he is suspicious. Macbeth fears Banquo would ruin his position of being the king. Macbeth then arranges the murder of Banquo. By this stage Macbeth still had some human like characteristics such as guilt, he couldn't go through with murdering Banquo himself so he hired three murderers to complete the deed. Though Macbeth still suffered a great deal of guilt. This showed at Macbeth's banquet as he has hallucinations of the ghost of Banquo appearing at the table. Macbeth reacts frantically to this, proving his conscience is playing on his mind.  "I am in blood stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er."
