Macbeth turned evil by listening to the raging ambitionwithin his own personality, letting himself be manipulatedby the three witches, and allowing himself to be influencedby his wife's equally raging ambition. It was due to the evil within himself and his wife, as well as evil personified in the three witches that Macbeth killed his own king, two guards who just tried to do their job of protecting the king, his best friend Banquo, and Macduff's defenseless family. Additionally, that evil led him to bring pain and suffering on a mass scale to the entire Scottish nation.

The second predictions of the three witches dealt with threats against Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The first predictions of Act 1 Scene 3 dealt with Macbeth's seeming destiny. The witches predicted that Macbeth would be promoted to Thane of Cawdor and then to King of Scotland. Their intention was to lure him down the evil road that uncontrolled, raging, greedy ambition would lead him. In Act 4 Scene 1, the witches intended to keep Macbeth on his evil course by a false sense of security about his reign. They led him to believe that he only needed to beware of Macduff. They also made him think that his kingship was bulletproof to men born of women. They specified that his downfall only would happen with the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. But they gave him no explanations. They didn't link any of the predictions together. The information was given to him in an eerily supernatural setting deep within a cavern. So it was difficult for Macbeth to think of concrete, practical explanations for such incredulous events.

This question assumes that a driving force behind Macbeth's actions was "obsessive ambition". In fact, his character is shown to be anything but obsessively ambitious. When not under the influence of his wife, his thoughts turn towards such ideas as "if fate would have me king, why then fate must crown me", and "I have won golden opinions of all sorts of people which would be worn in their newest gloss, not cast away so soon."
