I do not think that Shakespeare sees evil as stronger than good or human
understanding because in the end, Scotland is returned to her rightful
king and Malcolm is an element of good in the play. Macbeth certainly
is taken over by his greed and ambition, and a sense of evil gets the
better of him and clouds his good judgment. However, evil overall does
not reign supreme, and the audience sees the harm that evil has caused
to Macbeth throughout the play. He has lost his wife, the loyalty of
his subjects, and his integrity. Macbeth knows that he should grow old
in the company of friends, but he acknowledges that he is now alone. So
evil does not overcome good in the end--evil leaves Scotland with the
beheading of Macbeth.
