One way in which Macbeth most resembles the modern human race is in his capacity for self-deceit. Notice how fervently he latches on to two of the three prophecies (Birnam Wood and no man born of woman..) while completely ignoring the first (to beware MacDuff, and the only honest one in the lot). Even when the prophecy about Birnam Wood betrays him, he puts all his faith in the fact that he cannot be slain by anyone born of woman.

I was Lady Mcduff in a school production, and I would have to agree...the Mcduff-family's murders really changes Mcduff, breaking him temporarily, but then giving him the strength to kill Macbeth. Go for it.

Fleance's fleeing after the murder of this father Banquo would seem to weaken him (possibly out of fear for his own life) and Banquo's role as the "father of kings", but those who know the history behind the story know that the real Banquo is the ancestor of the kings of Scotland--King James VI (later, James I, King of England), for example.

He weakens the princes hold on the throne by killing their father the king and making it look like they did it.
