in his guilt and selfish needs that he has turned away from all his early praise and opposed it. She
acts differently around Macbeth to challenge his manhood so she can keep him controlled and get

title Thane of Cawdor and his title is justly removed and given to Macbeth as his execution is
undertaken. He wants to become King, but he doesn't want to kill Duncan. This is a clear sign of his
decent into evil, the way he consciously knows that he is doing wrong but evil takes control. In this
part of the play Macbeth finds Banquo as a threat and sends assassins to kill him. While Macbeth is

than break a promise, she does not want to kill Duncan herself because he reminds her to much of
her own father - 'I have given suck, and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me.
However, nothing scares Macbeth for he has created the evil that he is now drowning within.
