Macbeth is Linked to Himself
Many children are constantly trying to find new ways to entertain themselves. One might suggest that rollerblading as fast as possible and jumping off a deck would be a great possibility for pleasure. Well, this has happened in the past, and the results have mostly been broken bones. Ultimately it's the choice of the youngster whether to jump or not: the will of the being is the decisive factor. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"(Sir Isaac Newton's third law of Physics).

Macbeth's individually chosen actions were the cause for his alteration as a character. Macbeth yearned to be the most powerful and this ambition drove him to the assassination of his king. He had many self-debates, prior to the murder, whether to unleash his "expedition of violence"(Act II Scene iii line 126) upon the king. Often Macbeth told himself to "let not light see [his] black and deep desires"(Act I Scene iv line 58), for they were beginning to truly cloud his mind.
