At the beginning of the story there are three witches that speak to Macbeth and tell him that they see royalty in his future. Macbeth is unsure of how that could be true because there is currently already a king ruling. Although Macbeth at the beginning of the story seems like he wants to be king, he then realizes that the only way that he could do that is if he got rid of the current king somehow. Him and Lady Macbeth then plan to kill the king but before they do it, Macbeth doubts the situation and is unsure if this is truly what he wants. His lady then convinces him and they kill the current king, Duncan. Especially in this scene the reader starts to understand Macbeth's personality and all of his traits. He, throughout the story, always needs his lady to somehow convince him to do things and manipulate him into doing things because he doesn't have any ambition and always second guesses the situations and choices he makes. In the writing you can also tell by key word choices like "double trust" and "pity." There is also a sentence that talks specifically about Macbeth's ambition and how he has felt about the situation that he is going through. The quote
