macbeth quote and reading times

" Glamis thou art, and Cowdor, and shalt be
What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' th' milk oh human kindness
To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great,
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false
And yet wouldst wrongly win. ---"
Act 1 scene 5
Lady Macbeth

I think this quote is important because it is showing someone very close to Macbeth talking about how he couldn't handle killing someone he knows. It makes a point to show just how lacking he has of the "illness" or evilness to kill Duncan, and can explain any aftermath of the event and how it takes a toll on his consciousness and behavior.
This also gives contrast to the future Macbeth, how he acts and treats people later. It can show if Macbeth develops this "illness" or if he fully regrets his actions. It seems almost like a theory for a philosopher over human nature. Are people naturally evil or does it develop with their actions? In Macbeth almost shows how evil already existed in Macbeth; enough for him to consider killing Duncan, and how it grows when his wife convinces him to kill Duncan and how it gets out of control from there.
