The key to doing a project on Macbeth is to consider why this play is a tragedy: what are Macbeth's flaws and how do they contribute to his eventual downfall? Then think of other characters in literature who had similar defects and made similar mistakes. (The character you choose doesn't have to exhibit exactly the same flaws as Macbeth; what you are seeking is a character who throws away his life because of his flaws, a character whose sins end in his downfall.)
For example, Macbeth is willing to commit murder in order to gain power, he is too easily influenced by diabolical forces, and both he and his wife do not take responsibility for what they have done; they rationalize their evil deeds. In literature, there are numerous characters who could not resist temptation, characters who "made a deal with the devil" (literally or metaphorically) in order to gain power. There are even some characters in other Shakespearean tragedies who let pride or arrogance or jealousy destroy their life.
Yes, Macbeth initially showed leadership qualities in battle as a brave and skilled warrior. However, his ambition and eventual descent into cruelty and tyranny overshadowed these qualities, leading to his downfall.

Macbeth has both good and bad qualities, but ambition and his wife's arguments are influencing him.
Lady Macbeth tells the guests that Macbeth has had similar "fits" since his youth, suggesting it is nothing out of the ordinary for him. She urges them to ignore his behavior and carry on with the feast as planned.
The term "Peerless kinsman" in Macbeth refers to Malcolm, who is Duncan's son and considered the rightful heir to the throne. Macbeth describes Malcolm as a "Peerless kinsman" to emphasize his noble and worthy qualities compared to himself.
In the last scene of MacBeth, MacBeth is killed offstage by MacDuff in their brawl. After their fighting goes off stage MacDuff returns to the stage with MacBeth's head. This event is very similar to the beheading of Macdonwald the traitor by MacBeth early in MacBeth.
A word related to "laudable" in Macbeth could be "praiseworthy." Both words describe actions or behaviors that are deserving of praise or approval. In the context of Macbeth, these words might be used to commend characters for their honorable deeds or noble qualities.
Lady Macbeth covers for Macbeth at the banquet by implying to the guests that he has had similar disturbing episodes since childhood, and that they should simply ignore his behavior. She says that Macbeth's visions are a known ailment and advises the guests to leave him alone in his current state.
The characters in Macbeth often use similar imagery to convey themes such as darkness, deception, and ambition. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, for example, use references to blood, night, and snakes to illustrate the moral decay and psychological turmoil they experience throughout the play. These shared images form a cohesive tapestry that underscores the supernatural elements and tragic consequences of their actions.
One good quality of Macbeth is his bravery. We learn of his physical prowess and bravery on the battlefield.
