The theme of ambition and betrayal is represented in Macbeth's actions. After his ambition is ignited by the witches' prophecy and encouraged by Lady Macbeth, Macbeth betrays his king, Duncan, by murdering Duncan in Macbeth's own home. He then betrays his friend Banquo by ordering Banquo and his son, Fleance, killed. Macbeth's ambition and betrayals of his king and comrades ultimately cause his downfall.
