Criminal Mind
NEUTRAL : “A prosperous gentleman; and to be king, stands not within the prospect of belief, no more than to be Cawdor. say from whence you owe this strange intellingence?(..)”
GOOD: “Say, from whence
You owe this strange intelligence? or why
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way
With such prophetic greeting?”
BAD: “Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top full
Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose.” He is asking to be able to be cruel and not care about killing the king.
Witches
I believe that McBeth probably wouldn´t have made such a big deal and such a complot against the king if he hadn´t know that he had a chance to be king. The idea never came up in his mind, so to prepare himself and actually come up with ways to be able to execute a plan to make it happen was all a product of the witches’ prediction; therefore, if he hadn´t known, he wouldn´t care and wouldn´t make an effort.
People susceptible
The human is ambitious by nature, so yeah I do think that is really easy for someone to fall into such temptation given that we are always searching for more; especially when it comes to power, everyone wants to have more power than everyone else, so that´s why we fall in such situations.
Consequences
You can always see the consequences of being too ambitious, given that they are very noticeable. Most of the time, people step on other people in order to get what their ambition is telling them that they need, even though it is only a want for the people. And also, by being ambitious is really hard to feel satisfied, you think that nothing is ever going to good enough, and you keep looking for more and you always feel like a whole in your heart.
