Lady Macbeth seems to go from being someone with no conscience at all to someone who is overwhelmed by feelings of guilt.
- I´m Malcom a very wary and unsympathetic man.
- Their predictions drive matters forward though they never actually suggest direct action. Rather, they plant ideas in Macbeth's mind and let his ambition do the rest. Many of their predictions are ambiguous.The Witches are clearly unlike any other characters in the play. Their physical appearance, their style of speech, their actions and their apparent ability to predict the future sets them apart from the humans they seek to control. When the Witches make their predictions, they only say what will happen and not how it will happen.

- Macduff, the Thane of Fife, is Macbeth's deadly enemy. He discovers Duncan's body and becomes Malcolm's chief supporter, raised an army against Macbeth. When he learns of the murders of his wife and family, Macduff feels guilty about leaving them and driven by a need for revenge. Macduff's first loyalty is to his king and country.

His actions become less heroic and more cowardly as he continues to murder and terrorise others in order to hold on to his power. At the start of the play, Macbeth shows that he is a mighty warrior. Duncan, the King, rewards him by making him Thane of Cawdor. At the end of the play, when he knows he is about to die, Macbeth regains some of his old bravery, as he faces Macduff in single combat.
- Banquo is another general in King Duncan's army and Macbeth's best friend. While both men have ambitious thoughts, Banquo is more cautious and does not resort to murder to get what he wants.
