"And then he is dead"
Throughout the play it seemed like Macbeth's actions were all going to work together and let him reach his ultimate goal. However it was all a waste of time and his life. If Macbeth and Lady Macbeth didn't go completely out of their way to kill every person who stood in their way of the crown they wouldn't have ended up dead. They could have gone on with their lives happy with the status they had and let the higher titles come naturally if they still believed what the witches said. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth do seem like very impatient people so maybe this wouldn't have worked. With all this aside I still don't think everything that happened was worth it in the end. In general I don't think anything is really worth killing a person. If anything killing someone makes you less appropriate for the title or job or whatever it is you're killing people for. And if its something similar to what happened to the Macbeths then its not worth it at all to put yourself through the emotional and physical toll that comes with your actions, especially if was only for a short period of time.

I also think that the Macbeth's impatience led to their ultimate downfall. The brief span of time in which they help power was fraught with mental torment and physical stress. When you consider this and the fact that they payed with their lives, their actions were certainly not worth it. I think that paying for anything with your life is nonsensical.
