We talked about if this was going to be about bad people doing evil things or if it was going to show someone's descent from "good" to evil. It has shown Macbeth's fall. He was a loved nobleman who was all about kind and country until he heard a prophecy saying he would be king and then told his wife about it. Macbeth went very quickly from standing on one side of the bloody stream to wading into the middle, as he says it, very quickly, and I think it supports the idea that he did in fact start on the side, being safe and good.
I also think that Lady Macbeth's character shows almost the opposite. She was evil enough to encourage and go though with killing the king, but in neither of the two philosophies did we discuss talk doing evil can spark a need for good and a sudden cowardice.
