What if none of the evil decisions made in the play Macbeth were actually Macbeth's fault? There are also many other forces at work, which interfere with Macbeth and influence him to turn into a cold and cruel man who kills without a second thought. Would characters like Banquo and Duncan have been murdered if perhaps fate hadn't directed their destinies, or if Lady Macbeth hadn't manipulated Macbeth, or even if the three witches hadn't shown Macbeth their prophecies and apparitions? Macbeth is valiant, noble, and a truly decent person whose fate is unfortunately set in stone and whose life is a tumultuous road with impending doom. The cold and calculating wife controls Macbeth through manipulation and evil ideas. Furthermore, Macbeth meets three strange sisters who deviously give Macbeth false hope and hide the whole truth, leading him to overconfidence and greed. In Shakespeare's classic tragedy Macbeth, Macbeth is doomed by the influence and manipulation of external forces instead of internal forces, consequently leading him to make atrocious/vile decisions and causing his ultimate death seen through the inevitable forces of fate, Lady Macbeth and the witches. The play Macbeth is a Shakespearean tragedy; therefore, fate plays an extremely important role in Macbeth's downfall through its inevitable characteristics and use of foreshadowing. Most of the characters die because of the hero and his flaw which leads them to make bad decisions. Thus, Macbeth is destined to commit evil acts such as murdering King Duncan, his good friend, and plotting against his colleague due to his tragic flaw, excessive ambition. Furthermore, in a Shakespearean tragedy, there is always an aspect... in the center of the sheet... the third apparition states: “Be bloody, bold and resolute; laugh scornfully/The power of man, for none born of woman/Shall harm Macbeth (Shakespeare, 4.1.78-80). Macbeth believes that no one can kill him, when in reality Macduff can since he was born by a caesarean section. The witches' ambiguous language hid the whole truth from Macbeth, ultimately resulting in his gruesome death. Finally, without the witches, Macbeth would not have been so entirely influenced by the supernatural. For example, Macbeth sees a hallucination of a dagger before killing Duncan and seems to believe it is a sign that he is doing the right thing. He also begins to believe everything the witches say, even if it's scandalous, like him becoming king. This belief in the supernatural leads Macbeth to commit corrupt acts such as killing Duncan and is one of the causes of his growing paranoia..
