The intense and longing desire to achieve something difficult to achieve, especially wealth,
power, or fame. they can lead a person to commit the vilest and dishonorable acts that he has
ever imagined. this is known as ambition "Because their hearts are set so much upon the things
of this world, and aspire to the honors of men." ( Doctrine and Covenants 121: 35) Ambition is
the main axis in the plot of the Shakespeare-Macbeth artwork. This ambition is unleashed by
three witches who were already planning it at the beginning of the play . The witches even
respond Act I Scene I “ When the hurly-burly’s done, When the battle’s lost and won.” meeting
with Macbeth these witches sow the seed of ambition. Later when Macbeth and Banquo return
from battle. Macbeth would receive the title of Thane of Cawdor is where the climax begins.
Macbeth thought “Glamis and Thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind.” Because Macbeth
feels that the witches' prophecy could be a reality. And together with Lady Macbeth they plan to
end King Duncan's life. This is where the complication begins and Macbeth's entire life turns
into a complete mess of guilty emotions. When Macbeth receives the terrible news of Lady
Macbeth's death, great pain and anguish begin within him to such an extent that his emotions are
affected. This is where the denouement begins. Then Macbeth is beheaded at the hands of
Macduff giving way to the prophecy.

All people have ambitions in this life, but it is up to us how to fulfill them. Macbeth is the
protagonist of this story who was given a prophecy but he made bad decisions when fulfilling his
dreams. I think there were three antagonists in Macbeth's life. For me, at the beginning of the
play, Lady Macbeth behaves like an antagonist, it was she who constantly fueled Macbeth's
ambition and incited him to murder, it was also she who concealed his shameful actions. this
reason led him to develop his paranoia. On the other hand, Banquo also becomes an antagonist
because a prophecy indicated him in such a way that his descendants would be kings. this puts
him in Macbeth's sights to kill him. And finally, I consider that witches are also part of the
antagonism. Because I consider that these prophecies that the witches gave Macbeth were to
incite him to do very bad things.
