Bridget's feedback:

"You've done a good job examining specific pieces of evidence to investigate Macbeth's behaviors, decisions, and downfall. To ensure the reader is following your thesis, you will need to provide your paper's working definition of "antihero." This will help create the "lens" through which the reader sees all evidence, helping them understand how each example you give ties back to the thesis of the antiheroic. Keep an eye on diction as you revise--a thorough proofread should catch some typos or awkward phrasing. I would also recommend reviewing your usage of examples and quotes. You're deploying them at helpful moments in the argument, but make sure to use them precisely. Take another look at how you interpret the "Is this a dagger..." moment, and double-check your 3.2.11-15 quotation, which does not appear to be directly from the play."
