Macbeth is a helpless victim of forces beyond his control . His wife and the witches have largely contributed to his downfall.plz discuss

You need to consider that nobody made Macbeth do anything. Macbeth's tragic flaw, all protagonists in all tragedies have a tragic flaw, is his greed and ambition combined with the fact that he is kind of a coward. He stumbles his way through successive murders until he becomes King. Unfortunately by that time, he has pretty much sold his soul and become a socio-path that nobody likes.The "ladies" in Macbeth merely help Macbeth along to follow his own inclinations.

Macbeth really isn't a helpless victim. One can argue he had some low-self esteem issues going on which the "ladies" prayed upon but the rest was really all him.
