- in act 1 scene 2 is portrayed as a strong, brave, masculine, powerful man
- when he appears with his wife, is emasculated and seen as the antithesis of the 'brave macbeth' we heard of in act 1 scene 2
- after he kills duncan, he becomes paranoid and slips into insanity, as this happens, he becomes more malicious and begins unnecessary killings such as lady macduff, and also immoral such as banquo
- he starts to kill people in brutal ways which is shown in the way people describe the corpses left by the murderers macbeth hires
- his insanity leads him to independence from his wife and appears to be swapping roles with his wife and becoming the stereotypical man/husband
- these changes show his paranoia and insanity, he is no longer killing because of ambition or to reach his goals, he then kills banquo to protect himself and then his immorality is shown in his killling of lady macduff and her children for no reason at all
- these changes also show the evil influence of the witches and how they lure you in and dont let you go
