Macbeth imagines a 'dagger of the mind' also referred to as a 'false creation' and 'fatal vision'. This floating dagger incites Macbeth, who was previously hesitant, to enter Duncan's chamber and 'bear the knife' against Duncan.

What is a character profile of Macbeth?

It depends what part of the play you are talking about. Macbeth is a wonderful play because the main characters do not have a fixed character profile. What they do in Act 2 changes them forever. Killing someone while they sleep was out of character for Macbeth in Act 2 but would not be in Act 4.
