In Macbeth, power corrupted him and Lady Macbeth to do things that they normally wouldn't have done. For example, if Lady Macbeth didn't want her husband to have all the power, then she wouldn't have convinced Macbeth to kill Duncan. Power corrupted Macbeth, by him trying to be a pleaser again and listening to his wife, and letting her convince him to follow through with her plan. Power is what also made Macbeth a tragic hero. He lost his way because he was so overwhelmed by the amount of power he attained, in such a short period of time. Greed and selfishness is also a main component in how power corrupted Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
