Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Betrayal. Explanation: The tragic play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare is a story of the greed and selfish desire of Macbeth in becoming king and getting power for himself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ambition. Although he is encouraged by the Witches, Macbeth’s true downfall is his own ambition. Lady Macbeth is as ambitious as her husband, encouraging him to commit murder to achieve their goals. Both Macbeths fail to see how their ambition makes them cross moral lines and will lead to their downfall.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the major themes in the play is betrayal. The betrayer, Macbeth betrays the King, friend and other subjects in the kingdom. It is a violent play, full of murders even as Macbeth does all he can to ensure he becomes the king and there is no opposition.
Detailed explanation-4: -Loyalty and betrayal often go hand in hand, e.g. Macduff’s loyalty to Scotland leads his to betray his family. Shakespeare juxtaposes Lady Macbeth’s plotting to kill Duncan with her welcoming him into their castle. This develops her character and makes her murderous intentions more dramatic.
