The Prophecy of the witches, that he will become thane of Cawdor and future king leaves a deep impression on his mind. He is unable to control his ambition and mind. He keeps on thinking about the throne, after one of witches prophecy, that he will become Thane of Cawdor, turns out to be true. He murders King to achieve his ambition, but still, he isn't satisfied and continues further crimes. He murders Banquo and the entire family of Macduff.
