Macbeth is a power hungry person .( That is a step on which I must fall down, or else o’erleap,For in my way it lies) here he Macbeth talking “describing” how he wants to kill the king. But when he says “stars hide your fires let not light see my black and deep desires” he indicates the stars as referring to God. “My black deep desires” means that he doesn’t want anyone to know what he is planning .(The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, which the eye fears, when it is done, to see) He is ashamed and can’t make himself belief what he will be doing.
