She then is met my hit men hired by Macbeth to kill macduffs family. Macduff decides he need to kill mcduffs family because the witches told him how to keep his power and he believed that my killing macduffs son he would be unstoppable. The section shows Macbeth being currupted by power. It the beginning of the story macbeth a noble soldier but now that he has received the crow and power he will stop at nothing to keep it even if he has to harm another. This section also shows how far Macbeth is willing to "go" to get what he desires most. Macbeth wants the power of being king more than anything else in the world. He believes that in order to achieve his goal he must have Macduff's family killed.

How do we deal with conflicting elements within our personalities?

Everyone deals with conflicting elements within their personalities. Macbeth experiences conflicts such as loyalty to the king verses the gaining of power. He also struggles with loyalty to his wife verses doing the right thing. Macbeth's decision's to give in to his wife's pressure and kill the king to achieve power are similar to the choices that many people make today. For example if a member of Parliament voted to please his prime minister instead of the people in order to reach higher position, he or she would be giving in to the desire for power rather than serving his electors. likewise, If a teenager acts to impress their friends even though they know their actions are wrong, they are giving in to a desire for popularity rather than obeying their Morals. When people deal with conflicts in such a way that they put the interests of others before themselves we applaud them and appreciate their actions.
