From Macbeth's actions, the reader can conclude that he is not fit to be king. If he had accepted the witches' prophecies, he could have been a good king; however, since Macbeth has committed numerous counts of violence, his mind has transformed into the opposite of true kingship. Macbeth's tyranny contrasts with "[t]he royal [Duncan]/[who] was a most holy king" and the "good king" Edward, of whom God speaks "full of grace" (4.3.126-127, 169) . , 181).Shakespeare's contrast in the thanes foreshadows Macbeth's failure. Additionally, the reader despises Macbeth and his final relationship with Lady Macbeth. Even Lady Macbeth, who was able to “desexualize herself here during the murder of King Duncan, commits suicide because she is prey to intense feelings of guilt. During Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene – which was foreshadowed by Macbeth's remark that he thought he had cursed sleep after killing Duncan – is unable to free her consciousness as she tries to wash Duncan's blood from her hands. The roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are reversed when she realizes that "hell is troubled", implying that she already knows the darkness that awaits her as overseer: she has created her own hell (5.1. 38). The roles of the two characters are once again reversed, as Lady Macbeth illustrates how regicide is the most devastating act, even for one person.
