This thing's FULL of sins!

That's right, I'm talking about the seven deadly sins! In order for a villain to really be evil, they've got to have at least one of the seven deadly sins going for them, right? In the case of Macbeth, there are many sins present, and not all of them are Macbeth's own sins. For example, out of the seven sins of lust, greed, pride, gluttony, sloth, wrath, and envy, there are a total of five sins present in the play. These are lust, greed, pride, wrath, and envy. Lust is the least present, but it's still mentioned in there when Malcolm is testing Macduff. He says that he has insatiable lust for women, and that he sucks because of that, basically. That's about all there is for lust, but it's still in the play, so I'm counting it. For greed, Malcolm also says he has terrible greed, but he's not alone there. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are clearly greedy, and they are also envious as well. They are both greedy for the throne and envy the power that Duncan currently holds, hence why they murder the king to get the throne for themselves. As for pride, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth forward by wounding his pride, calling him feminine and weak in order to get him to do what she wants. Finally, wrath is a very obvious sin within the play, as Macbeth goes around murdering people. He also gets rather wrathful with the witches for doing what they did to him, and he screams "Filthy hags!" at them, which makes it obvious that he struggles with the sin of wrath. Wow, these characters sure are flawed, huh?
