One day become King of Scotland. After the witches disappeared, he had a lot to
Think about what they told him and pondered the words they spoke. Macbeth sends
A letter to his wife about his feelings of what he had heard. When Macbeth returned
To his castle his wife wanted to lead him down a dark path and feed his
Ambition. Macbeth decides he wants to go after the crown after consulting his
Wife. "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting
Ambition, which o'erleaps itself, and falls on th'other...." (Act I, scene
