Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth’s tragic flaw is what drives both his actions and those of Lady Macbeth. His ambition would not have been an issue, though, had the Three Witches not given him the first prophecy. When he first hears the prophecy, he is reluctant to believe it until he hears that he would become the Thane of Cawdor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three main causes of his downfall is his wife’s persuasion to kill the king, trying to cover up his actions, and having people killed just to try to keep his role as the king. After the three witches inform Macbeth that he will be king, Lady Macbeth finds out and wants Macbeth to kill King Duncan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth is greatly influenced by the three witches and Lady Macbeth. However, he is ultimately responsible for his own actions. He denies to listen to his own conscience which repeatedly commands him to consider his ways and the path which is slowly leading him to destruction.
