Ambition- Most of the characters in Macbeth have shown some kind of ambition towards something, for Macbeth it was becoming king, for Lady Macbeth it was becoming Queen etc.

"Glamis thou are, and Cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promised...........Which fate and mephysical aid doth seem to have thee crowned withal" (Act 1 scene 5 page 11)
Shakespeare, W. (No date) Macbeth. Sparknotes

Magic- Magic is shown mostly through the witches and Hecate and is what influences Macbeth in all of his actions after act 1 scene 3 where the witches use magic to see Macbeth's future.

"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!"
"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!"
"All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!"  (Act 1 scene 3 page 5) Shakespeare, W. (No date) Macbeth. Sparknotes

Death- Death is a prominent theme throughout the play as Macbeth murders a lot of people until he inevitably get killed at the end of the play.

"....Wherefore was that cry?"

"The queen, my lord, is dead."

"She should have died hereafter....signifying nothing." (Act 5 scene 5 page 67)
Shakespeare, W. (No date) Macbeth. Sparknotes

Guilt- As the play progresses, there are more and more signs of guilt from different characters but mostly through lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself

"Out, damned spot! Out, I say!-One, two. Why, then, 'tis time to do 't. Hell is murky!....Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him" (Act 5 Scene 1 Page 61)
Shakespeare, W. (No date) Macbeth. Sparknotes
