2. What do you think about the character of Macbeth? Was he a good guy before he met the witches, or do his actions imply that he was always capable o

Macbeth was not a monster from the beginning. The witches and Lady Macbeth triggered Macbeth to become a horrible murderer and pulled out a monster inside him. However, the evil side of Macbeth was inside Macbeth. He always wanted to gain more power but never had a chance to show his intentions since killing the king seemed to be impossible and unsuccessful at the first time. Furthermore, Macbeth seems to be a strong character with hard mind. However, in reality, he is the most gullible and weak minded character in the play. As we can see in the play, he seeks for others’ opinion and help all the time. That is why he went to the witches and asked for help and that is why he became a murderer by being convinced by Lady Macbeth. Thus, we cannot say it is the witches that made him a monster but the evil character was always inside Macbeth. it is the witches and Lady Macbeth who pulled out the evil side of Macbeth but it is more of a Macbeth’s fault that he fell to the bottomless pit.
