There is a character analysis of Macbeth from the play Macbeth so my premise or hypothesis about the character Macbeth is that essentially here's a tragic hero he's ruined by his ambition which is his fatal flaw or her Marsha it shows that betraying the king or committing regicide will lead to your inevitable downfall and that's really what Shakespeare explore through the character Macbeth.
So in the beginning of the play we have an exposition sequence there's a speech by a soldier where he describes Macbeth as brave Macbeth we learn that he's a great warrior and that he's fighting for Scotland and the in this war he unseen damned an from the nave to a chaps and he fixed his head upon our battlements meaning that he beheaded a guy and that he cut him from his navel all the way up to his neck so we learned that Macbeth is a violent man fighting in violent times but the important thing is he's fighting for his country he's not fighting for his own advancement as he is later in the text now this exposition sequence from the soldier a now Shakespeare to create a hero he who he can later turn into a tragic hero through this downfall through his her Masha it also allows for a cyclical structure where at the beginning of the text an enemy of Scotland is beheaded and then again at the end of the text enemy of Scotland is beheaded showing the consequences of attacking the country he is in this sequence as well described by Duncan as a cousin and this creates an almost familial bond although.
We don't know and never talks about whether he is or is not actually related to Duncan other than that he'll first term is a Kingsman which means he might be but there's no evidence other than that but it creates this familial bond there's a closeness between Duncan and the trust between Duncan and Macbeth and as a result that makes the regicide even more apparent so when we first meet
Macbeth he's with Banquo and he meets the three weird sisters and they prophesized that he is going to be king now even their name weird which in Elizabethan times man fate indicates that Macbeth fate is being spoken by the witches that his fate is to be king however Macbeth can't seem to leave it to fate because his fate fluor is his vaulting ambition and immediately he has these black and deep desires he essentially starts thinking about murdering Duncan committing regicide which at the time would have been the most awful crime however by the end of this sequence Macbeth does decide that he will just leave it to chance or need to fate because perhaps as Lady Macbeth observes he is too full of the milk of human kindness and he doesn't want to commit such a deed however later on he then meets Macbeth Lady Macbeth and she shamed him into committing the deed she calls him a coward and she says because he Durst not do it then he is not a man now clearly Macbeth
