Answer:In William Shakespear's tragic play, Macbeth, Macbeth is a general in the king's army, and the honorable Thane, or Scottish count, of Glamis. Because of his valiant fighting in the battle with which the play begins, Macbeth is rewarded by King Duncan with the additional title of Thane of Cawdor.

But, while Macbeth is a brave soldier and a powerful man, he's not a virtuous one. After his first meeting with three witches, who predicted that he would become the new Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth begins thinking about murdering King Duncan and taking his place. He's undecided whether it is better to give in to that murderous temptation or let luck or fate make him king.

At first, he decides not to kill the king, yet he is goaded into murder by his self-image of bravery, his overreaching ambition, and his wife, Lady Macbeth, who accuses him of cowardice and implies that he is less of a man if he doesn't do it.

Once Macbeth agrees to murder the king, and is then crowned King of Scotland, he sinks ever further into murder. Obsessed with the witches and their prophecies, he decides to have Banquo, once his trusted lieutenant, brutally murdered. Later on, Macbeth has Lady Macduff, her young son, and their entire household murdered as well.

At times, he feels remorse for his crimes and reflects upon his inability to resist his darkest desires. But he's trapped within his own weakness of character, his tragic flaw. In the end, unable to bear the consequences of his crimes, Macbeth returns to the battlefield, where he's killed by Macduff.

Macbeth is presented as the greatest warrior in Duncan's army an as the Thane of Glamis. He meets the three witches once he's returning when winning the battle against Kingdom of Norway. The Witches makes prophecies concerning king that he are the Thane of Cawdor and also the King of European country. He is tempted to kill Duncan and be the King by these prophesies. It is also noteworthy that murdering Duncan makes feel guilty but he soon overcomes this and commits murder one after another form Duncan to Macduff's wife to achieve his ambition. Thus Macbeth, who is presented as the hero at the very beginning of the play turns into the villain of the same play.
