.4. Macbeth trasforms into a villain!

Now that we have established that Macbeth is certainly a victim, lets discuss why Macbeth is also a villain! Well, although Macbeth's wife played a large role in manipulating him, ambition, and insanity led him to kill Duncan. Not only does he kill Duncan but he does other dispicable things that he can most certainly be held accountable for. For instance, he puts a hit out on Banquo and his young son Fleance! Banquo is Macbeth's best friend! Macbeth's ambition turns him into a dangerous villain. He is so convinced of the witches prophecies that he decides that Fleance is too much of a threat to have around, concerned that he is going to steal the throne from him! Fleance is an innocent little boy, and probably doesn't have any concern with the prophecies, much like his father. Although Macbeth's crime is fueled by his insanity, he could have taken other precautions to ensure that he keeps his place as king, rather than killing his best friend and attempting to kill his best friend's child.

Macbeth has completed his transformtion into a cold hearted villain.
