Ambition. Like all of Shakespaer's characters ech one had a quality about them that would usually be good but ends up being their downfall in the end. A major character defect. Also, Lady Macbeth thinks he's too kind to be able to kill Duncan at the beginning.

Which is the best example of a tragic impulse from Shakespeare and The Tragedy of Macbeth?

It really depends on whether you believe that people have "tragic flaws" (Shakespeare didn't), and if you do, what Macbeth's tragic flaw was. If you think his tragic flaw was giving in too easily to his wife, then his wife talking him into the murder in Act 1 Scene 7 is probably it. If you think his flaw is that he's too ruddy violent, possibly this became apparent when he split the fellow from the nave to the chops.
