William Shakespeare 's Macbeth 's Fate

Fate and prediction have played a big part of Macbeth and has persuaded him to become evil and the “Brave” Macbeth had died out as soon as he meets the witches’ and they tell him that his fate is to become the thane of Cawdor and soon become king; “All hail, Macbeth hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!” “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!”. Macbeth does not know yet that the Thane of Cawdor had betrayed the king and went against him also he is being stripped of his Thaneship and is being executed, so he was surprised when the witches’ said that. Macbeth at first did not believe in his fate but when he gets the rob to be Thane of Cawdor he starts to believe his fate and then his mind skips to becoming king and killing Duncan this shows

Firstly, the three witches give Macbeth a prophecy: “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter” (Shakespeare I.iii.49). This enhanced Macbeth’s curiosity of kingship and power, which created an environment that which enforced his ambitious nature. Yet, the actions Macbeth took in order to become king were on his own accord. For example, killing Duncan (Shakespeare II.i.60-61) after learning that Malcolm was named Duncan’s successor. The killing of Duncan was a choice that Macbeth made independently because he justified murder as his ascendance to the throne. Therefore, Macbeth’s rise to kingship was based on a predetermined fate and independent choices with worked together cohesively to earn Macbeth his success.

He will not become a king himself but will have descendants that later will. He warns Macbeth saying “And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, / The instruments of darkness tell us truths (1.3.124). Despite Macbeth’s first prophecy coming true, Banquo warns him that even though it may have been true, he shouldn’t trust the witches considering they are forces of evil that may be using manipulation to affect his innocence. Even with this advice Macbeth still has full faith in the prophecies. The difference between Macbeth and Banquo’s reaction to the prophecy coming true again shows that Macbeth’s actions throughout the play are his own doing. Macbeth needed manipulation in order to go through with the first killing. Unfortunately Banquo was right, the witches, evil, did in fact trick Macbeth, leading him to become corrupt and evil himself. Macbeth no longer needs manipulation to kill, he is able to kill for his own ambitions now; fully believing that his free will is necessary for his fate to occur. Instead of confusing the two, like before, he thinks his free will is necessary to keep his fate from changing. He also knew of Banquo’s fate and saw it as a threat to himself. He allows his fate to overcompensate his free will; he tries to have Banquo and Fleance killed. Macbeth believes he can change fate and uses his free will by trying to

Fate versus free will is a huge theme in the play Macbeth. It is Macbeth's fate that leads his free will to act the way he does. When the witches say "All hail Macbeth the future king" (I.iii.51) it leads Macbeth down a road of death and self-destruction. If Macbeth hadn't known

Fate vs Free Will is one of the most oft used literary techniques in writing. It is never more evident than in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. The major theme of the story Macbeth is whether or not the story is fueled by the free will of Macbeth, or by his fate. Are the events in Macbeth a result of his mentality and outlook on life, or were they going to happen no matter what? Almost every major event that takes place can be traced back to this question. It can be viewed in different ways, and most people have their own opinions. Dissecting this question is a part of what makes teaching Macbeth still have so much value to this day. But there is a clear answer to this question upon further dissection. The story of Macbeth is fueled by his free

Throughout the play, Macbeth proves that there is a destiny, it just a matter of how one chooses to attain it. Destiny is a thing to be achieved, through choices. Fate has no bearing over what choices are made. Yet, Macbeth may not have made the same choices

In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, there is a question as to whether or not Macbeth is driven by fate or free will. The three weird sisters approach Macbeth with prophecies that will all come true in the end. It would appear that Macbeth is just following destiny at first. However, Macbeth always had a choice throughout the play to choose his own fate. Macbeth journeyed to his murderous doom through his own free choice.

During several soliloquies and asides Macbeth expresses his "black and deep desires" (1.5.51) to become King and gradually overcomes his moral reluctance and foreboding long enough to kill Duncan. The independence of Macbeth in this decision is best described when he states:

Macbeth is a play rife with tragedy. Written by William Shakespeare most probably in the year 1606, the play was very loosely based on somewhat true events. The play focuses on Macbeth’s rise to power, and then his subsequent demise shortly thereafter. Macbeth's ambitions were too big, and the choices that he made were the wrong ones. If he had never chosen to kill the King, then he would not have been killed in return. And while prophecies were made that predicted what would happen, Macbeth was the one that set them into motion, and he was the only one responsible for his own death.

In Shakespeare’s Tragedy Macbeth, it is very debatable if fate, or freewill is what causes Macbeth to do the things he does through out the tragedy. Freewill is at work most through out the tragedy because Macbeth is convinced he can change or speed up the fate the three weird sisters prophesized for him at his own will. Throughout the play, Macbeth slowly begins to think he can modify his fate by using the prophecies told to Macbeth by the weird sisters and attempting to change them by his free will.

In the play Macbeth, we see an innocent man who is also recognized as a great warrior and hero, till the witches appeared and we begin to see changes in his behavior. When the witches’ prophecies comes true, you begin to wonder, was it the witches’ doing in causing Macbeth’s downfall or was it Macbeth’s own choice that he made himself? Macbeth shows a few signs of it being him that’s making those decisions. In the five acts we see a transition between fate and free will and both seem to act on each other throughout the play.

In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the main character’s goal is to become the king. Macbeth seeks to gain as much power as he possibly can and this ultimately leads to his demise. He hears the prophecy of the witches and becomes so obsessed with fulfilling the prophecy because it states that he will eventually become king. Having this information, Macbeth goes out of his way to force the prophecy to come true. He becomes so power hungry that he tries to force fate leaving him with an undeniable guilt for his actions, the loss of love from the people who once loved him, and a harsh death in the end.

A tragic hero is a great or virtuous character in a dramatic tragedy who is destined for downfall, suffering, or defeat. Macbeth was everything in the description, from the downfall, his supernatural evil ways, and his tragic flaw, he still remained a very honorable man. Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare that tells a story about a husband and wife planning to kill King Duncan with the help of three evil witches so Macbeth can be crowned king. In due of time, after Macbeth was crowned king, he becomes more evil and spiteful, killing anyone who he think would try and steal his royalty away from him. His evil ways finally caught up with him causing him to lose his life in a battle with Macduff making Malcolm, Duncan’s eldest son

His actions to be king is influenced by the prophecy that the witches told. Macbeth then gives up trying to make his own decisions and surrenders to greater forces. Macbeth states,“If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me Without my stir” (I, IV, ll. 157-159). This quote shows Macbeth giving up the free will he thinks he has.

In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth, a once honored and valiant Thane, abandons all virtue after three meddling witches prophesize his ascent to the Scottish throne. Consumed by his ambition and encouraged by his malevolent wife, Macbeth sets forth on a downward spiral of murderous treason and tyranny that subsequently leads to his own demise. This Shakespearean tragedy explores betrayal, manipulation and the blood lust that adjoins a relentless climb for power. Hovering behind the narrative are various supernatural forces and visions that seem to be present during each terrible act. Subsequently, a question prevails whether Macbeth’s downfall is result of his own flaw or if these forces possess a vice-like hold over
