.6. Macbeth's downfall

Now, just before Macbeth's downfall (his death), his wife begins to lose her mind and then she kills herself! Macbeth is obviously traumatized by this, and his spirit really gets crushed. He decides that he isn't going to have the things he has worked so hard to get, such a his friends and his glory. At this point, Macbeth has almost become a victim again, deciding that he will not succeed. However, he still holds onto some of his villanous traits, and does fight for his life when the time comes. In the end, Macbeth is killed by Macduff and his villanous reign comes to an end.
