Macbeth's plans and actions seem to be motivated most of all by what in Act 1 of the tragedy of Macbeth?

Answer 1

The prophecy from the Witches in Act I Scene III, predicting that Macbeth will become King. Lady Macbeth plays a pivotal role in persuading Macbeth that he should kill Duncan. Slowly through this process Macbeth's mental state deteriorated and he soon becomes hell bent on murdering anyone who gets in his way to the throne.

Answer 2

Arguably, act one suggests MacBeth to be fearful or cautious (if still hopeful) of status advancement. Because people view and interpret literature differently, creating a concrete conclusion is difficult; however, with enough evidence to back up an argument it is possible to persuade others to be open to how one views the characterization of MacBeth.

Answer 3

Macbeth is motivated by a number of things throughout the play, and all of them are real. His motivation at every single point after the murder of Duncan is fear--fear that Banquo will betray him, fear that he will be identified as Duncan's murderer, fear that he will lose his place as king, and fear of death. His primary motivation from Act 1 Scene 7 until the murder is to gain the approval of his wife. Although ambition to be king is a factor (we see it in Act 1 Scene 4), Macbeth discounts it in Act 1 Scene 7, and it is quite simply nowhere near as important as a motivation as many people make it out to be.

Answer 4

In Act 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth's plans and actions seem to be most motivated by his ambition for power and his desire to fulfill the prophecy of becoming king. This ambition is further encouraged by his wife, Lady Macbeth, who urges him to take decisive action to seize the throne.
