Macbeth is seen as a tragic hero. He settle his honor and violate moral obligation to attain power which result to his death. Evil should have been his name, but we know him as one of the evil men of Scotland. We will learn of tragedy and Macbeth ‘s bloody rise to power, which including the murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth is just as evil as her husband and in this play, she is the most memorable character.
