HOW DOES MACBETH CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE PLAY

In the beginning of the play, Macbeth believes in nobility and earning his title of King in a fair way. But once Malcolm becomes the Prince of Cumberland, suddenly his mentality changes, "Let not light see my black and deep desires." Whenever Macbeth states this in Act I, it shows how much of a savage he has become. Although he strongly believed in earning this title the right way, once Malcolm got Prince of Cumberland he no longer thought this. Malcolm was only in his way and for this he either needed to step over him or give up. Giving up was not an option. He will not allow his eyes to look down at his hands to see what they are committing, but in the end he will still do the thing he is horrified to see- and that is to kill.

So nowww, Macbeth is basically a cold blooded killer. After killing Duncan, he believes he is too far in to stop what he is doing. At this point Macbeth is committed to killing anyone in his way. What he did to Duncan is unforgivable and it cannot be undone. All of the good qualities that he once obtained are now beginning to vanish. He is eternally doomed to Hell and his soul belongs to the devil. His mission is to now kill Fleance, Banquo, and Macduff's family (these are the people who might have suspicion in him for Duncan's death ). But instead of giving up, he seems to keep that one quality and fights to the death.
