Macbeth's character changes:





In Act I, Macbeth is presented a brave warrior who is a killing machine. That image is contrasted with the presentation of man who wants a better station in life. In Macbeth's own words, after he hears the witches' prophecies he says he has nothing but vaulting ambition to motivation. So, as a reader you should already know that Macbeth, although he is a thane, desires a more prestigious postion. However, his wife tells us, "He is too full of the milk of human kindness" to do anything to help himself rise above his circumstances and become king.





2) In Act III of the play, Macbeth has Banquo killed. In Act IV, he has the entire house of Macduff killed. Each of these murders occur without provocation. Thus, you get a change in character again. Banquo was his friend. The person with whom he fought back to back in battle and yet, he was able to kill Banquo because Banquo served as a threat to his place on the throne. Also, Macduff as a result of his treasonous act (Macbeth was the king and Macduff refused to acknowledge Macbeth as king) had to be killed in order to secure Macbeth's place as king. The man who full of the milk of human kindness is gone. As a matter of fact, he resorts to using the same tactics his wife used on him. He bullies the men into murdering Banquo by showing that the horrible lives they were living was due to Banquo.





In Act IV, you get the confidant Macbeth. Here he develops a false sense of secuirty as a result of the witches intervention again in his life. He receives news that borders on the impossible. The most telling, "No man of woman born can harm Macbeth" allows Macbeth to at last feel that his place on the throne is secure and that no one will ever harm him.





The play itself has several major themes:


The first being the notion of free will versus fate: Would Macbeth have ever become king if he had not done something to make it so. Despite his saying that he would do nothing, he later comes back and says that Malcolm being named Prince of Cumberland was an idea he could accept (a step on which I must kneel down) or take matters into his own hands and change it (or o'r leap).
