Is there such a thing as free will? Or is there free will with a set fate no matter what choices we make? Shakespeare’s Macbeth dwells upon this subject often. Three witches, who claim to know Macbeth’s future approach him. They hail him as thane of Glamis, Cawdor, and as King of Scotland. The audience knows that he is the thane of Glamis and that Cawdor will soon be given to him, but the idea of becoming king never occurred to him until this moment. So the question remaining is: Did the weird…

Shakespeare’s attitude towards fate was that everybody has a destiny they must follow obediently. This means that Macbeth was bound to kill the king and scare away his son. Although with the assistant of the three witches it was kind of a misdirection changing his fate. The three witches provoked Macbeth to kill to uphold some prophecy that was never officially proven. Shakespeare definition of fate has shown me that with the help of corrupt figures that any body’s fate can be changes…

Several images are consistently used throughout the play Macbeth. One of the recurring images are hands. In the play, hands are used to signify action being committed separate from your being, and the guilt that comes with it.

Here, Macbeth is removing his personal self from the murder. He does not see himself as a hangmen, but feels…

On page 243, lines two hundred fifty five to two hundred seventy one, the Furies are talking…

The earlier time period fit the tone of the story very well, especially considering that Elizabeth's profession is to hunt witches.

There are those who of course oppose the laws -…
