The other oddity that I thought of was that Macbeth and his wife wanted Duncan killed so bad so that Macbeth could be King of Scotland but in the end Macbeth died and he died like the traitor Macbeth had killed early on in the play. Lady Macbeth who really was the mastermind behind the killing of Duncan and begged her husband to kill Duncan also died and in the end both of them ended up being what they were trying to do to Duncan. They became so obsessed with power it drove them crazy and killed them, so they never enjoyed the kingdom anyway.
The final odidity it that Macbeth himself was held as a hero by his King and would have lived a lavish and wonderful life had he not become obsessed with more and more power. He was held in high regard by his king and the people and he was a strong warrior known for his ability to fight. He became overcome by his lust for power and ambition and his wives desire to rule the kingdom. He became bloodthirsty and nothing in the end mattered to him, not his wives death or what he had to do to keep his title, just power, which he had in many forms had he just remained content with his position and not the prophecy of the witches that became destructive to him.
