Although Macbeth was a victim of the witches' prophecies and apparitions, he still on his own accord, acts upon these predictions; therefore, he is a villain.

Confused
Macbeth: The Thane of Cawdor lives: why do you dress me in borrow'd robes?
Macbeth is confused because at this point in the play he is unaware that the Thane of Cawdor has been executed. This makes him think even deeper about the witches prophecies because two of the three predicted are now true.
King Macbeth is believed to have been behind the vicious break in and slaughter of Macduff's wife, children and maids.Will the people of Scotland stand behind their King or will they concur with the accusations?
Do you really believe that witches exist and have this much power?
Evidence
To the left are multiple character traits I hand selected inorder to depict Macbeth's shady character in support of my claim. Although King Duncan's murder was inexcuseable and barbaric in it's execution, Macbeth's intentions to have both Banquo and his son Fleance mudered are a disgrace; Fleance is only a boy and has not yet been given the chance to live his life. Thankfully, Macbeth's hitmen were unsuccessful in killing Fleance. Due to Macbeth's unwavering path of greed, multiple lives were taken when they should not have been. That can only be the work of a villain with no compassion or value of life.
POWER
Was William Shakespeare brilliant for writing this play or insane?
