It's his recklessness and complete dedication to attain power and remain in throne. His 'vaulting ambition' is his hubris, because in the end it is the catalyst for his downfall and eventual death.
That's all I can remember from Year 10 English, haha.

Many of Shakespeare's stories were based around the 'vaulting ambition' or the 'tragic flaw'. This is why most of them are called tragedies... We just completed the Macbeth topic at school; I really enjoyed it though I did have a little trouble understanding the metaphoric language in it (THERE'S SO MUCH)!
Macbeths ambition is to kill the king (Duncan) and therefore take the rightful place as King.
N.B. My favourite character has to be Lady Macbeth by far. The sneaky and evil bitch! She is such a good character and perpertrates into Macbeth's mind to help make the decision to kill Duncan...
Loved it!
