The evil actions of treason and murder which Macbeth commmits are morally inexusable. Macbeth's evil rampage begins with Duncan, the king of Scotland. Macbeth murders Duncan to fulfill his thriving ambition to become the king of Scotland. At this time, Macbeth commits the two worst crimes and sins known to man; treason and pre-meditated murder. Similarly, Macbeths' evil is further highlighted with his morbid murder of his loyal best friend, Banquo. Macbeth hires people to murder Banquo and his son, Fleance, jus tbecause Banquo was mentioned in the witches' prophesies. Macbeth feels no agony or has no second thoughts about murdering a man who has been very close to him his entire life. To top Macbeth's evil, he does the most horrid act of murder when he kills Macduff's family and workers. Lady Macduff, her workers, and her children pose no threat to Macbeth, y

In addition to the provocations on Macbeth, his evil is questionable due to the fact that he feels agony and guilt for some of his earlier actions. He has second thoughts about murdering Duncan, and agonizes over such a horrid act. He even wants to dismiss the plan, until he is manipulated into going through with it by his wife. So, Macbeth kills Duncan, only to have guilty thoughts afterwards. When there is a knocking on the door of the castle right after the act, Macbeth says, "Wake Duncan with they knocking! I would thou couldst! (II, 2, 93)" He is appalled by his actions and it affects his health. Almost immediately after the first murder, Macbeth begins to have bad dreams and insomnia. Likewise, Macbeth feels guilt over getting the thrown unjustly. He is never happy or satisfied with his kinsmanship. Never in the play he speaks of his fortune and gratification in response tohim being king. He merely shouts at people or is paranoid and afraid of people plotting agaisnt him. This is his conscience coming back to haunt him. If Macbeth is evil, he should not have a conscience bothering him. Evil people tend to not know right from wrong, and thus don't have a conscience.

Finally, at the conclusion of the play, Macbeth's evilness is seen by his opinion of life. Life is ordinarily seen as somethign to be celebrated. Macbeth, on the other hand, says life "is a tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/Signifying nothing (V,5,28-30)." In this particular scene, Macbeth reveals his depressive feelings, which are brought on by the suicide of his wife. His opinion of life is very sadistic. The evilness inside of him has grown to such extent, that he has no life to celebrate anymore.
