Macbeth Moral Story

Macbeth is a play about a Scottish man Macbeth who gives in to temptation and greed. He starts out being the Scottish hero with no real major problems in his life. It all goes wrong for Macbeth when he encounters three witches that prophesise that he is going to be king. He tells his wife and she pressures him into murdering the king so that he can become king.

Macbeth cannot decide whether he wants to commit the murder or not. On the one hand he likes the idea of being the King and on the other hand he doesn’t want to do the evil act of murder and knows that it would be very wrong. He is worried about how murder would mean he would go to hell.

As soon as Macbeth has committed the crime he feels the almost unbearable guilt of what he has done. Macbeth deeply regrets what he has done. His wife says how she would have done it herself if the King hadn’t resembled her own father. I think
