Detailed explanation-1: -What is a flaw in Macbeth’s character? Macbeth has the flaw of ambition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth says, “Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires.” What are Macbeth’s desires? He now desires to be the king, and he realizes that something will have to be done with the present king (and his sons) before his desires can become reality.
Detailed explanation-3: -He also reveals that he intends to have his son Malcolm succeed him on the throne, which throws Macbeth for a bit of a loop. He privately ponders his growing desire to kill Duncan so that he can grab the throne for himself.
