I think that the main idea in Macbeth is guilt. In the book we see that the main characters often go through big guilt trips, especially Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, but first is the character Macduff. Although he starts his big lines later on in the book he has a feeling of guilt when he leaves his family to retrieve Malcom. When he returns he learns Macbeth sent murderers to his home and that his family is dead. He feels guilty for not being there to protect them.
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth go through the most extreme guilt events. After Macbeth sends murders to kill his best friend Banquo he gets a little crazy. He eventually starts to see him as a ghost in a party. It scared many of his other friends and gave them and idea he might have killed Duncan. Lady Macbeth also gets so guilty she goes crazy. She starts sleep walking and eventually goes so insane she ends up killing herself.
