Fate

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.
