Who possesses the tragic flaw of ambition in Macbeth?

Mainly Macbeth, but I suppose his power-hungry wife as well.


What happens in act 1 in Macbeth?

We hear about Macbeth, the great Scottish general, and his buddy Banquo. Macbeth and Banquo are accosted by three witches who make prophecies to them. Macbeth writes to his wife about the prophecies. Macbeth gets the new title of Thane of Cawdor, but the king's son Malcolm gets to be Prince of Cumberland. The king then announces that the party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness. Once in Inverness, Lady Macbeth persuades her husband to murder the king so Macbeth can get the crown for himself.


What does Macbeth experience upon hearing the witches prophecies?

Macbeth's has a whole set of different reactions to the various prophecies. Sometimes he thinks that if they are genuine prophecies he does not have to do anything about them ("If chance would have me king, why, chance may crown me without my stir") and at others that he is required to act ("Prince of Cumberland! That is a step I must o'erleap"). Sometimes he thinks the prophecies will protect him and at others that they will not ("And yet I'll make assurance doubly sure")


Who was the line of 8 kings in Macbeth?

Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The line of 8 kings in Macbeth refers to the eight kings that Banquo sees in a vision, who are all descendants of Banquo himself. It's a symbolic way of showing that Banquo's lineage will eventually rule Scotland, unlike Macbeth's doomed reign. So, in a nutshell, those 8 kings are basically a mic drop on Macbeth's power-hungry behind.


Is Macbeth gay?

Oh, dude, Macbeth isn't really a character who's like swiping left or right on Tinder, you know? He's more caught up in all that power-hungry, backstabbing drama. So, like, whether he's into guys, girls, or witches, it's not really the main focus of the play. Like, let's just say his love life is the least of his worries.
