Another example might be from Macbeth when Duncan 's sons are accused of killing their own father to gain the throne. Also like in many of these tales this brings their own downfall, a sort of karma.

Lady Macbeth's ambitious nature was a large part of the play. Lady Macbeth often brought Macbeth's manhood into question whenever he was weary of going through with something, even something as atrocious as murder. For example, “Yet do I fear thy nature; / It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness / To catch the nearest way”(1.5.14-16).
