Macbeth essay:

A tragic flaw is the secret weakness of a

character that leads to his downfall. Macbeths
tragic flaw is ambition: a strong desire to do or
to achieve something, typically requiring
determination and hard work.
In a well-thought-out essay, answer the
following three questions:
1. How is Macbeths tragic flaw developed
throughout the play leading to his eventual
murder?
2. Would you say that ambition is good or bad
in Macbeths case? Explain your answer by
referring to specific events within the play.
3. Do you think that without the witches
prophecy that Macbeth would be king, and
without Lady Macbeths influence, he still would
have been ambitious? Explain your answer.
