Pride is a very dangerous trait. It can take you over, make you feel self conscious, and eventually change you altogether. When put under pressure, pride will make a decision for you. In the book of Genesis in the Bible, Eve, along with the serpent, manipulates Adam to eat the fruit from the tree.

As in Julius Caesar, though, perturbations in the political sphere are echoed and even amplified by events in the material world. Among the most often depicted of the inversions of the natural order is sleeping. Macbeth 's announcement that he has "murdered sleep" is figuratively mirrored in Lady Macbeth 's sleepwalking.
Macbeth 's generally accepted indebtedness to medieval tragedy is often seen as significant in the play 's treatment of moral order.
