In the book Macbeth, the topic fate continues to reoccur. In the beginning of the book, the witches give Macbeth the prophecy that he has a chance to become king. His determination to become king was a major negative affect to his personality. He begins killing many innocent because to control and make sure his fate was the way he wanted. He was guilty at first, but the more he killed people the more comfortable he got with it. He wanted his fate to end as him king and he was more than willing to kill people for it. He started with a simple murder and thought that after he murdered Duncan; his worries would go away; however, Macbeth entered himself onto a major killing streak. He was out of control and the worst part is he didn't feel bad for it.
Fate also had a really big impact on Lady Macbeth. With her "pleasant" self being innocent in all; hearing that her husband could be king lit a spark in her. She immediately began planning people that Macbeth needed to kill in order to become king. She wanted to control fate instead of letting fate be fate and happen naturally. She was willing to kill people if Macbeth wouldn't in order to control fate. They excessive planning, killing, lying, etc. lead her to the foreshadowed death. Banquo didn't try to make his sons magnificent to be king, instead he let things happen normally.

2 Macbeth quotes and an explanation
Act 3 scene 3
Macbeth: "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill."
This quote is a interesting and devious saying. Macbeth as we know, has been killing people in order to be king. He wants things the way he wants without any possible people to interrupt it. In this quite Macbeth is saying, since things were started off badly, the only way to make it better is to continue doing bad things. After reading and interrupting this quote, you can infer that Macbeth will be doing more wrong doings such as killing innocent people. At this point, Lady Macbeth agree's she never doubts her choices nor over thinks her wrong doings. She is always calming her beloved husband Macbeth so he doesn't spill any obvious conclusions that they are responsible for the murders. Macbeth doesn't like doing bad things; however, on the other hand he does not have any issue killing someone in order to make his power of rein increase.
Act 3 scene 4
Macbeth: "Which of you have done this?"
In this part of the scene we saw Macbeth has visions of Banquo's ghost haunting him. When Macbeth asks the question "which of you have done this?"I think he is not realizing that only him can see the ghost and the lords don't. I also think that Macbeth thinks that the Lords are having the ghost present to basically say we know you killed Banquo and confront him, although they have no idea.
