The play Macbeth portrays ambition as a trait that when in excess leads to downfall
which is most easily represented in Macbeth's persona. Although drive and ambition
had led to Macbeth becoming a heroic Thane of Cawdor at the very beginning of the

Macduff although a noble character and the thane of fife, he was never around much

attribute to excel and succeed as he eventually becomes king in what seems a free
of corruption kingdom.
