- 20687: The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth
- ... perhaps would not have done this if the witches had not told him that he would be king in Act 1 Scene 3. I believe that it is the witches are more responsible for Macbeth's downfall than he is. In Act 1, Scene 3, the witches tell Macbeth that he is thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and that he "shalt be king hereafter". Immediately after hearing the witches prophesise that he will be king, Macbeth thinks that he must kill the current king to become king himself. I believe that before hearing the witch's prophecies, Macbeth had never in his wildest dreams thought of killing King Duncan to become king himself. In Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth meets again with the witches, who tell him through apparitions, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff. Beware the thane of Fife." In the following scene, we see murderers sent by Macbeth enter Macduff's castle and slaughter both Lady Macduff and her son. The witches are also responsible for this murder, because once again, the witches put ideas in his head. Although the witches can be held responsible ...

to bend(France to (his) awe or break it all to pieces." His purpose is strengthened by the arrival of the French ambassadors who bring a reply from the Dauphin to Henry's demand for "certain dukedoms (in France) in the right of his great predecessor," King Edward the third", an insolent message that he "cannot revel into dukedoms there." In place of these territories, he receives ...
