The theme from Macbeth that the given lines support is that Ambition unchecked can lead to corruption.

Based on the excerpt given, we can see that Macbeth is pondering between doing bad and good, and as a result of his ambition to be king, he yields to the bad thoughts to kill the king and take up the throne.

He knows that his thought is not good because he "yields to the suggestion...of going against nature"
