Answer:

His ambition has left him paranoid, and he still does not understand that his ambition is becoming his undoing.

Step-by-step explanation:

"To be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus." Shortly after being made king, Macbeth utters these lines. While he has achieved his goal, he is no closer to being at peace. In fact, his ambition has left him paranoid, and he still does not understand that his ambition is becoming his undoing.
