Ambition

Create your own argument: Whose ambition is driving this killing of Duncan, really? **It is clear that neither character is telling Duncan or Banquo how they really feel, but do they tell one another? **Be sure to pick lines that show you both direct and indirect evidence for your argument.

I believe that the person who's ambition is driving this killing of Duncan is Lady Macbeth because she wants Macbeth to take the thrown but also have it all to her self. I believe that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are not only hiding secrets from Duncan or Banquo but their also hiding something from each other. They both want the thrown and they both have a desire to kill anyone who get's in their way just like in the play Lady macbeth said "Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty!"Lady macbeth was saying something aboutcalling the spirits to unsex her and give her the courage to kill.
