  • They have a power all their own.
  • Macbeth fixates upon the witches’ prophecy. Although he is a noble and courageous warrior his great desire for power and prestige means he considers conspiracy and murder in order to fulfill it.
  • Once Lady Macbeth hears these words, Duncan, the King, is doomed.

Words have a power all their own

Taken for the Day in the Life of Group. My days are full of words.

FIRST WITCH: All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!
SECOND WITCH: All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!
THIRD WITCH: All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter!
.....
FIRST WITCH: Hail!
SECOND WITCH: Hail!
THIRD WITCH: Hail!
FIRST WITCH: Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.
SECOND WITCH: Not so happy, yet much happier.
THIRD WITCH: Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none:
So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!
FIRST WITCH: Banquo and Macbeth, all hail!
...
MACBETH: Your children shall be kings.
BANQUO: You shall be king.

And so it begins...

    man, haven't read MacBeth since high school (which was over 10 years ago)-- I need to revist the book someday when I am not tending to goats......

    Don't, whatever you do, read it round the goats. They'll eat it.
