Macbeth himself is responsible for his downfall as it was his choice to believe what the witches had prophesized. also lady Macbeth got him back on track to killing duncan when he was regretful of doing the unholy task, but once again his ambitions came into play and he killed the king. Macbeth led to his own downfall, the other characters only influenced him into doing the things they wanted him to do.

How much witches are responsible in the Macbeth's downfall?

I think that Macbeth was at first not as "worried" about the witches and their curses as then on in the play he finds out that every thing that the witches has been tellin him are true.


Why are the witches to blame for all the deaths in Macbeth?

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?

How is the theme reality vs appearance part of Macbeth?

Lady Macbeth is duplicitous Macbeth is two-faced towards Duncan The witches seem to be giving simple info to Macbeth, but are the really preparing him for his downfall?


Does Lady Macbeth help in Macbeth's downfall?

Lady Macbeth plays a major role in the downfall of Macbeth. She was the one that convinced Macbeth to commit the murder of Duncan, believing that power would bring them happiness. This is the first crime that we see in the play that Macbeth has commited. After the murder of Duncan, Macbeth is made king. He has lots of power and he craves to use it, but was never happy, causing his downfall. When Lady Macbeth commits suicide is another key point in Macbeth's downfall because as he has seen so much death and caused pain to so many others he becomes numb to it and no longer cares about anything, and wishes to die himself although he does not consider suicide like Lady Macbeth this is shown when he says "Why should I play the roman fool and die on my own sword?" Lady Macbeth also plays a major part in the downfall of Macbeth as from the moment when she takes the bloody daggers off Macbeth after he kills Duncan she starts turning mad throughout the whole of the play up until the point when she commits suicide. Lady Macbeth suffers from a guilty conscience during most of the play and starts sleepwalking, imagining that she still has blood and her hands so she tries to wash it off. This is also important in Macbeth's downfall because it emotionally affects him and he himself starts going mad by having dreams and seeing the ghost of Banquo as well as contributing to the suspicion that falls on Macbeth.

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.
