This is Shakespearian tragedy at its best. After being assured by the three witches that he was essentially immortal, that he would live a charmed life, Macbeth's desire for power, urged on more so by his wife's desire to be queen, sends him on his grizzly mission. The play places Lady Macbeth squarely in the driver's seat of the skullduggery, and sees them both dead in the end.
Why is it so important that Macbeth should be first presented to use as a brave and honoured soldier?
Because tragedy works by making us like and respect someone and then feel sad when something terrible happens to them. If we don't like them in the first place, we don't feel sorry for them and there is no tragedy. (An example is Shakespeare's failed tragedy Timon of Athens in which we cannot feel sorry for Timon because he is so stupid, and hence his downfall does not seem very tragic.) The fewer faults the hero has, the more tragic it becomes, so the most tragic hero has no faults or flaws at all, yet disaster overtakes him anyway.
