Power
Some people crave power, while others do not.  In Macbeth, at first he doesn't act like the kind of person to crave power, but inside he really does.  He has killed innocent men to get it.  People can also abuse the power they are given.  These people don't know what they are truly doing because they are blinded by what they desire.  People who don't want to be put in the place of power should be.  Why? Because they won't abuse or be corrupted by the power given to them.  They will use it wisely and for the good of the people.  The people who can be corrupted by power are selfish and only think of themselves.  This digs them into a deeper hole than they were already in.
There are many qualities for a person to have in order for them to be the "hero" even if they have the power to be the "villain."  The hero needs to be smart, make good choices, and to be a good person in general.  They have to know right from wrong and good from bad.  Macbeth knows right from wrong but he was blinded by his wife and the chance to be king.  A true hero wouldn't be blinded by his ambition and would fight for what is right.
Isis, a terrorist group, is like Lady Macbeth.  They both crave power and will do almost anything to get what they want.  Although, Lady Macbeth stays under the radar and has Macbeth do all the dirty work.  Isis is willing to get there hands dirty to get the power they desire.  Even though Isis and Lady Macbeth are getting closer to power, it might not end how they want it to.
