That is all well and done but then there is the subject of Macbeth just excepting his fate. What I mean by that is when Macbeth first meets the witches and they tell him the prophecy he accepted it and did not even try to change it where as you or I would have just called them crazy and gone one with our lives. Not Macbeth though, he chooses to just accept it and goes on killing and betraying his friends and kin without thinking of the consequences of his actions . Why? because he had to the witches told him it would be so, that is no excuse for murdering innocent women and children as well as noble men. The witches were just a cover for Macbeth's own greed for power like blaming your dog for eating your homework even though you now full well that you were just to lazy to do it.
