If you look throughout history, the coolest bunch of outlaws that ever roamed the seas, were undoubtedly pirates. If you look closer at Pirates, you might find that some of these outlaws were actually good men. In the Walt Disney franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, all of the pirates in the movie do some pretty terrible things to each other. In the second film The Dead Man's Chest, Will Turner discovers that his father is alive aboard Davy Jones' ship. From this point on in the series, Will is determined to save his fathers soul at any price. He ventures into Davey Jones' Locker to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow and his ship, the The Black Pearl, and once he does so, betrays Jack, leads a mutiny on the Pearl, and steals the Pearl for himself. Once Jack is handed over to the enemy, Lord Cutler Beckett, he turns around and betrays ALL the pirates just so he can get a show at immortality. While being rescued Jack learns that if he stabs the heart of Davey Jones, he will become immortal. Since he had already died once, immortality sounded pretty good to him. Jack offers to hand over every single pirate for his own freedom. The deal is done and in the end they all get what they want and reconcile their differences but for a good time, they were bitter enemies. These actions were simply what they needed at the time being. If they had thought it through more wisely, they might have not have had to betray each other.
Similarly, in Macbeth, he does not want to kill King Duncan but his wife, Lady Macbeth convinces him otherwise. She pretty much guilts him into killing the king by saying she'd rather kill her own baby than say you will do something and not doing it. It is this guilt that finally convinces him to kill the king. Just because your wife is nagging you to do something doesn't mean you should go right ahead and do it. Macbeth just gave in to his wife's demands demonstrating his weakness of character.
