Macbeth's Characteristics

In the film, the producers have used many different techniques to portray different characteristics of Macbeth. The scene where Macbeth kills King Duncan brings out Macbeth’s ambitious characteristics, but also shows how indecisive he is and how much he depends on Lady Macbeth. However, despite the fact that he kills the king, scenes such as the feast show that Macbeth does have a conscience with some good morals.

Though ambitious, his murder of the king shows that he is very indecisive unless another person influences Macbeth either way.
Despite instances that imply Macbeth is a wicked person, there are certain techniques in the play and the film that suggest that Macbeth
