How does power corrupt?

In the beginning of the play, Macbeth hears a prophecy that states that he is going to be the king, but Banquo is in the way of that prophecy. What Macbeth does is he orders 2 murderers to kill Banquo which is what happens in our Act, Act 3. In Act 3, after the murderers kill Banquo, Macbeth becomes king. And during the feast, Macbeth hallucinates and sees Banquo when he was already dead. From all the power that Macbeth gained and how he got there also connects to the other essential question: How far is one willing to “go” to get what they desire most? Because Macbeth went so far to get what he wanted, all that power that he gained is corrupting the way he thinks by hallucination and so he was very close at that moment to ruining his power therefore power does indeed corrupt.
