Morality is the guiding force that helps man evaluate his actions and even thoughts. The same is what Macbeth struggles from when he decides to commit murder in pursuit of power.
It is immoral and against his innate sense of justice and natural values. However, once he silences the call of morality and becomes slave to his and his wife’s lustful ambition, his whole life becomes unstable. Even though he gets the crown, he never gets any peace, happiness or security.
The moral guilt of his crimes destroys his family as his wife loses her sanity and eventually her life. After her death, he turns even more restless and desperate and finally meets his painful end.
