Essay / Character Analysis of Macbeth by William Shakespeare
The witches, particularly wicked because of their work with black magic, are the obvious and wicked antagonists of this Shakespearean play. Lady Macbeth, whose character is full of deception, is also the first to push the idea of Duncan's murder down her husband's throat. Finally, Macbeth's ambition, which many call his most villainous trait, is in reality nothing other than his tragic flaw which was simply manipulated by his wife and the three witches. Is it really fair to call Macbeth a villain, or is it rather reprehensible to call him something he simply isn't. After all, right is wrong, but so is wrong.
