Macbeth is acknowledging that the actions he took to achieve power were initially fueled by immoral behavior, but those actions have now developed their own momentum and are gaining strength on their own, leading to a cycle of more wrongdoing and negative consequences.

Who is second to blame for Macbeth dowmfall?

There's no right answer. You have to decide for yourself who was responsible, which is what is so great about literature. There's either Lady Macbeth, the witches, or Macbeth himself. I believe Lady Macbeth was first to blame for her manipulation on Macbeth, then Macbeth because he chose to do the things he did under Lady Macbeth's word. The witches meerly told him what was going to happen in Macbeth's life.

Normally, people would not blame the witches. They just said things and Macbeth reacted by doing things. The witches can only be held to blame if you think that Macbeth had no choice in his actions. But if he had no choice, how come the witches do have a choice?

Macbeth does the things he does(like kill Duncan) because Macbeth is manipulated and coaxed by Lady Macbeth to do them. On his own, he would not have done so even though he was ambitious. Lady Macbeth, does the manipulating and all the cruel lines that she says are of her own accord. Nobody forces her, she choses to become evil while Macbeth is forced to become evil.

Which of Shakespeare play has something about forest or woods walking?

Macbeth. Early in the play three witches tell Macbeth of three impossible things that must happen to prevent his becoming King. One of these events is Burnham Woods must move, and as woods and forests do not normally move, Macbeth feels that victory could be his. BUT before the battle clever Macduff orders his men to cover themselves in branches, twigs and leaves as camouflage. As the soldiers advance, it appears to Macbeth as though "Burnham Woods doth move".
