The character Macbeth is shown to be very evil in Macbeth‚ written by William Shakespeare. He was not evil until he becomes tempted by the Witches prophecies. Macbeth was a noble man until he was tempted by evil. The evil consumed him overtime‚ from all the murders he commits‚ and from trying to interfere with the witches prophecies.

This happened when man (Adam) sinned against God; Adam disobeyed God by eating the fruit that God had said not to eat. There is way’s to see this problem of what we call evil‚ not sin since sin is against God.
