MacBeth 7
In the Shakespearean play, MacBeth, A Scottish nobleman starts off by killing one man to become king but in the end has left a whole path of destruction behind him. MacBeth, is the main character who alongside his wife, Lady MacBeth, kills just to become king. Then kills again just so he can keep the throne, and once he becomes suspicious of another person he kills them. So I will try to show the advancement of MacBeth's aggression. At first MacBeth is rather nervous to commit the first murder, and Lady M. isn't affected but after that MacBeth begins to have no remorse.

MacBeth knows of this so he hires people to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance. That murder is committed in 3.4. When MacBeth finds out they have only killed Banquo and not Fleance he gets angry. When he returns to the table none other than the ghost of Banquo greets him. He gets pretty freaked out by this and he says, "Thou canst not say I did it. Never shake thy gory locks at me."
