hich causes King Edward of England to organize troops to overthrow him.Anything that happens to Macbeth is traced back to his vaulting ambition. This ambition is to be blamed for his great power, as well as his downfall. Macbeth’s entire character is an example of this quote by Shakespeare: “The heavens themselves, the planets and this center [earth] Observe degree, priority, and place... Take but degree away, untune that string, and hark, what discord follows!” (Boyor 25).Overall, Macbeth is a disgrace to society. He created discord and led himself to his tragic death. Ambition helped him to become extremely powerful, but his vaulting ambition is what finally led him to his tragic death. Had it not been for Macbeth's obsession with power, he would have been able to remain powerful, but it is because of his ambition that causes him to become less powerful and leads him to his downfall....
