In the Shakespearean tragedy, The Tragedy of Macbeth, three witches make prophecies of Macbeth's future. My question is, how critical were these prophecies to Macbeth's actual murder of Duncan? In my opinion, Macbeth had other influences besides the witches which contributed to his decision to kill Duncan. I believe, since Macbeth was obviously a candidate for the throne, that he must have wanted to become king. What pushed him to do it was his own ambition, Duncan's appointment of his son as heir, and Lady Macbeth. My problem is, how do I prove it? I would truly appreciate some advice.Posted by Keith Ross on March 30, 1997 at 20:36:15
