Respuesta :

The words "thou shalt be king hereafter" is what might've encouraged Macbeth to try to become a king. I would say the correct answer is C. Ambition.

Answer:

C. Ambition

Explanation:

The witches' prophecy indicates that Macbeth will be extremely rich and successful, as he will be crowned king. This prophecy completely transforms Macbeth's mind and life. He becomes consumed with ambition, and his only goal become being able to achieve power by any means possible. It is this enormous ambition that is Macbeth's main tragic flaw, and the one that would eventually lead him to his demise.
