This means that at some point in his life, Beatty was also questioning society just like Montage is now. Beatty once also had the choice of following his desire and turning against society, but unlike Montage, he chose to follow his duty and ignore his desire. Beatty obviously regrets not having chosen the path against society. For this reason Beatty sympathizes with Montage and "forces" Montage to kill him. Beatty does this because he knows that once Montage kills him he is going to also have to kill the rest of the firemen and then flee, making this Montage’s point of no return.
In Act I Scene III, Macbeth shows murderous thoughts of killing Duncan. Line 57, “great predictions/ of noble having… That he seems rapt withal… Line 140, “My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical.” These two quotes are of ambition for the throne, these thoughts are mere expressions of his inner evil. His thoughts are purely of himself, without any interference from Lady
“Be innocent of knowledge.”(3.2.51). He also does this so everyone will think good of him, but it does not work very well. Therefore, he started changing during the story. The final stage he is at is that he is a cold hearted tyrant. One reason for this is when he ordered to kill Maduff”s family.

If the creations are indeed “more human, than human” what defines our humanity? The replicants are portrayed as the violent antagonist only once compared to the humans (Tyrell) do they become admirable. While the death of Tyrell confronts the audience the close up on Roy's face shows the agony he is in. He doesn’t enjoy the killing but believes that his father must pay for his sins, pay for all the pain he has cause to him and his friends.

For example, it was the number of people Macbeth had killed that led to the lord’s suspicions of him. If he had been more discreet about his murders, and less eager to eliminate all competition through bloodshed, he may have, ironically, been able to maintain his kingdom.

Second, Macbeth, as superstitious as he was, put much faith in the witch’s prophecies, even from an early stage.
