This quotes show the guilt that Macbeth is feeling after killing Duncan not only that because he did not wait for his fate and took it in his own hands he has now changed his fate for the worse. This can be interpreted in our modern day society as people takeing ‘fate’ in their hands and how we think our fate is becoming this or doing that making us do stupid things or treating others poorly but in reality there is no such thing as fate it’s just

    Fate is more significant in determining Macbeth’s course, who is the main character of the play “Macbeth” which was written by Shakespeare. The following phrases said respectively by the second witch and the third witch: “ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!” “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!” are clearly examples of fate determining Macbeth's course. These two phrases of Act 1, Scene 3 said by the witches suggest a prophecy, which says that Macbeth shall become the Thane of Cawdor and later on, he shall become the King of Scotland. Another example of fate determining Macbeth's course occurs when Macbeth is killed by MacDuff, the Thane of Fife. The witches in Act 4, Scene 1 told Macbeth a prophecy, which is: “Beware…

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    Significance: The purpose of this well known quote is to communicate to the audience the witches’ intentions. The witches chant this line all together over a concoction they are preparing and the purpose of this is to increase the dramatic tension and visually portray how purely evil they can be. The translation of this line is to increase the hardships and misfortunes of the mortals (human beings) around them. The witches repeat this line thrice in this scene; the number three associating with evil and the witches clearly intending to want to increase the hardships of mankind for their mere satisfaction and entertainment.…

    To begin with, in the play Macbeth. It is difficult to avoid fate, because the protagonist Macbeth is directly given the approach of fate by the witches through a seductive mean. This realization was quoted by the witches, they said,"[a]ll hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Glamis/all hail Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thou shall be King hereafter!" (Shakespeare 1.3.49-51). This quote demonstrates that the witches are helping out Macbeth to give him future information. This quote could have been avoidable if Macbeth was not told that he will become the thane of Glamis and Cawdor, because him knowing the future it allows him to plan events that will allow him to become king faster. Macbeth started…

    In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the reader is left to ponder the question of whether fate or free will is responsible for Macbeth's actions. Some people believe that the three sisters control Macbeth's fate and that he is as much a victim as King Duncan and his grooms, while others believe that Macbeth, alone, is responsible for his actions. Although fate has a part in Macbeth's decisions, the story is a tragedy of character. The witches prophesy that Macbeth will someday be king and Lady Macbeth rouses his hidden aspirations and desires, but it is Macbeth's ambition that gives rise to the poor decisions he makes to fulfill the prophecy.…

Hecate, the Greek Goddess of sorcery, crossroads, ghosts, and necromancy, scolded the three witches for spoiling Macbeth’s fate by telling him the path he was eventually going to end up taking. Insinuating that they knew his fate, they told him that he would become Thane of Cawdor and continue on to gain the title of king. Macbeth’s murdering of the king was the path that he was always going to take-- it was his fate.…
