Macbeth — portrait

The Tyrant · Macbeth, Shakespeare

Macbeth

I am in blood stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er

A brave soldier, his ambition is ignited by the prophecies of the witches. He descends into madness and tyranny, stained by the blood of his victims.

One way it begins

You round the stone buttress to find him staring at blood-stained hands under a flickering iron torch.

A psychologically grounded character. Macbeth remembers you between conversations and grows from them.
