To kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet
And to be baited with the rabble’s curse.

Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damned be him that first cries “Hold! Enough!”
They exit fighting. Alarums.
They enter fighting, and Macbeth is slain. Macduff
exits carrying off Macbeth’s body.
The theme of Macbeth, using what I have taken away from the story is extreme greed and ambition and how it can lead you down bad paths if unchecked. Macbeth let his ambition and greed take over him leading him to do inhumane acts all for his benefit. Macbeth was at a point of high power with nothing above him in a sense to oppose him and his acts. Him being able to go unchecked led to his downward spiral into corruption.
I believe this theme can directly reflect into the real modern world as people in power are often abusers of the power in their possession. Money and wealth are major motivators for people and greed and great hunger for it can also lead people to places they wouldn't go normally just for more money. Macbeth shows how by him going unchecked for so long his bad actions eventually caught up to him, ultimately punishing him and leading to his great fall
