There are two main thoughts or theories about whether Macbeth is actually evil, the first is that "Macbeth was naturally evil", and the second is "that Macbeth was driven to to be evil." " Personally, watching the play, I have the feeling that Macbeth was pushed to become evil. I believe this because Macbeth had to deal with witches who were naturally evil and their presence really changed Macbeth for the worse. Macbeth's witches they really have one main goal and that is to turn all good things into evil. The image invented by the witches is that of pure evil. After visiting the witches, Macbeth is manipulated by three unusual sightings, in the case of Macbeth ghosts these sightings or visions Macbeth is tricked into a false sense of security, this happened because the witches told him that he could not be harmed by anyone born of woman, "For none born of woman shall harm Macbeth" .of course Macbeth thought this meant literally everyone in the world. Macbeth then says, "Then live, Macduff: what need have I to fear thee." Macbeth obviously did not realize that Macduff was not technically born a woman, as his mother was died when it was ripped from her stomach. Shakespeare uses dramatic irony as these words confuse Macbeth. I think if Macbeth had known this earlier, it would have damaged him physiologically and prevented him from being so powerful. It is easy to understand from these words that Macbeth will feel invincible and that no man will be able to harm him. However, Macbeth fails to see the pattern or meaning between this and the first vision. This is because Macbeth is unaware of Macduff's birth. I said before that I think Macbeth wasn't naturally evil, however I think Macbeth's wife is naturally evil. He often urges Macbeth to do bad things, really only for his own benefit. While watching Macbeth I noticed that Shakespeare made the character of Macbeth have very strong morals, however as the play progressed I also noticed that Macbeth's morals became much less apparent. Another main point I picked up, in a RS lesson is that evil is not natural in human nature and that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth must persuade or deceive themselves in some way to kill Banquo and Duncan, this is obviously because evil is not natural for us.
