Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well Macbeth thought he had courage when in reality he was just trying to resist the fear he really had!. Like when he killed the king, he thinks he's being courageous by killing him because he fears that the kingdom won't fall in his lap w/o him taking any action!. He needs to learn to master it instead of trying to prevent it; him "preventing" it took him to his down fall!. It led to him not being able to trust anyone, filled w/ guilt, full of himself thinking that no one can kill him and obsessed w/ the witches prophecies, that it got him killed!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
