As Macbeth continued with his evil and murdering ways, he stepped over a deadly line. Again, not being able to stop his evil powers, he decided that he would take the step of murdering Macduff's wife, children, and servants. This proved to be a fatal error. Macduff had, at the time, gone to England to try and bring an army to rid the country of Macbeth, as life under Macbeth was hell. Macduff believed that even Macbeth wouldn't go as far as to murdering his family, so he had left the one their own; however Macbeth's actions were Macduff's last straw. As soon as he heard of what Macbeth did, he immediately returned to Scotland to make Macbeth pay for his evil actions. Macduff took it upon himself to bring to Macbeth what he had been deserving for a very long time. A short period of time before Macduff murdered Macbeth and his evil ways, Macbeth seemed to have a brief period of remorse for what he had done, but it was too little too late. He realized that the only thing to do was to go out and fight like the brave warrior he once was. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, he was no match for Macduff and his army, and Macduff promptly brought an end to Macbeth and his reign of evilness. Macbeth brought upon himself the wrath of his own death through his constant evil actions.

This quote of Macbeth further reinforces the fact that his delusions lead his way to darkness. He is showing that he longs to commit a murder so badly that he is visualizing the murder weapon before he sees it. "He casts himself into the role of withered murder, in a league with the forces of night." (Coles Notes, p.26). After committing his first murder, Macbeth realized that evilness was very much a part of his life that he could not ignore, and would later learn to use its force.

Throughout the play Macbeth, the character of Macbeth experienced countless delusions and hallucinations, all of which were a clear representation of his evil within. Before his encounters with malevolence, Macbeth was a fair and virtuous person. He was one of Scotland's most powerful, and bravest warriors. As he was slowly forced onto the dark side, it became harder and harder to bring himself back, until he eventually could not. He found that power wasn't everything, and by being king, he created hell for all inhabitants of Scotland. Fortunately, for Scotland, and for Macbeth, he was released from the burden of life and his evil destiny, but not before he managed to do irreparable damage. This comes to show that a disease in the mind is not something to be taken lightly, as Macbeth showed what could come of it.

After encountering Macbeth's imaginary weird sisters, Banquo had hesitations about accepting these predictions almost immediately. He was smart enough to recognize that this was evil speaking. They soon after learn of Macbeth being awarded Thane of Cawdor, since the past one was very disloyal. Banquo knew something was wrong. "What! can the devil speak true?" (I, iii). He later said, "to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's in deepest consequence." (I, iii). From these quotes one could infer that Banquo knew this was something wicked that he didn't want to listen to. Unfortunately, Macbeth did not heed Banquo's warnings. It seemed that he recognized the same thing, to some extent
