Bill Bradley had once said “Ambition is the path to success”. This quote proves that ambition leads others to what they want. Throughout the play, Macbeth by William Shakespeare, many interesting events take place. Macbeth has met witches and they warn him about what they predict will happen in the future. Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth even though he thinks that he has nothing to worry about when he probably should be worried. Lady Macbeth encourages Macbeth to kill the King which also influences him to kill many other people. Ambition could be both positive and negative. It shows the different achievements everyone wants to reach but the outcome of the achievement is unpredictable so it could be a good …show more content…
For instance, Lady Macbeth states, “Your hand, your tongue; look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t”(1.5.75-77). Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to act like nothing happened. She says that he should look like a innocent flower but be like the snake under it, which means he should be evil on the inside and innocent on the outside. Lady Macbeth influences all of the evil characteristics of Macbeth. Furthermore, Lady Macbeth says, “Go carry them and smear the sleepy grooms with blood”(2.2.67-68). She tells Macbeth to wash the blood off from his hands, to get rid of all the evidence and smear blood all over the guards that fell asleep, leaving the daggers with them. They try to blame the guards for killing the King and make it seem like the guards are guilty. Macbeth has left many evidence that had proved that he killed the King, but Lady Macbeth had helped him get rid of all the proof that he had left behind.

Lady Macbeth tells everyone at the banquet to take a seat and Macbeth is always been acting like this since he was a kid. She also tells them to not pay attention to him and ignore him or he will get angry. Lady Macbeth announces this because she is afraid that Macbeth is going to say something he is not supposed to say and will cause them trouble. She is also afraid he is going to state something about killing the King or proof that shows he has killed the King. Macbeth was acting different and was about to spill evidence so Lady Macbeth decides make all the guests at the banquet leave:
“I pray you speak not. He grows worse and / worse; / Question enrages him. At once, good night. / Stand not upon the order of your going, / But go at
