Think about Macbeth’s position at the conclusion of Act III. In what ways has his ambition, which allowed him to obtain the Scottish throne in the first place, begun to be detrimental to him? Cite specific examples from the play in your response.
What does this question mean? I gave examples of how Macbeth's ambition made him evil. Is that right?
Yes, you are on the right track, but the question is asking for specific examples of how Macbeth's ambition is starting to have negative consequences for him. It is not just about how his ambition made him evil, but how it is now affecting him in a detrimental way. The question wants you to analyze Macbeth's current position at the end of Act III and identify the ways in which his ambition, which initially helped him gain the Scottish throne, is now becoming a burden or causing problems for him.
