Macbeth Witches Influence

In the Shakespearean play, "Macbeth," the witches influence on how Macbeth made his decisions played an extremely important part in adding/giving to his (happening sometime in the future) destruction.

The witches were trying to create noise and confusion by predicting to Macbeth in order to get him to act. They planted the seed of evil in Macbeth 's head that grew to rule his mind. But it was Macbeth who made the choices that decided/figured out his

(the) unavoidable, already-decided future. He was not forced to kill Duncan nor any of his other victims. But after he murdered Duncan, Macbeth lost his sanity. The witches were easily able to control his mind. They made him believe that he was unbeatable, and then he willingly continued

Slowly Macbeth loses grab/understand of his sanity and self-control. Being filled with/eaten with power, Macbeth lets nothing stand in the way of his rule, because his rule is all that he has left now. Macbeth 's danger and dishonesty are shown further when he becomes so constantly thinking about the witches predicts to his friend, Banquo, that he decides to hire two men to kill him and his son. It is not long before Macbeth 's own cruelty begins to disturb him, greatly. He suffers from troubled sleep, nightmares and loss of (desire to eat/desire for something), and he is going insane. At a fancy meal in his

(huge, fancy, stone house) Macbeth imagines Banquo 's ghost and gives a very scared reaction in front of his guests. Also because Macduff does not attend the fancy meal and runs away to

England, Macbeth, in anger, decides to have his family murdered. Later in the play Macbeth says to Lady Macbeth, "I am in blood / Stepp 'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tiring and boring as go over." This remark paints the image of Macbeth swimming in a sea of blood, having went ahead/moved forward so

Macbeth! be aware (of something dangerous) Macduff; / Be aware (of something dangerous) the thane of Fife." The second ghost/sudden appearance is a bloody child that tells Macbeth, "Be bloody, bold, and determined; laugh to reject/rejection / The power of man, for none born of woman / Will harm Macbeth."

Finally the third ghost/sudden appearance, in the form of a child with a crown on his head, holding a tree, tells Macbeth that he "Will never defeated be until Great

Birnam wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Will come against him." Macbeth now feels promised to/certain that he cannot be killed because he assumes that all people are born of a woman, and it is impossible for a forest to move. He could never have guessed that the ghosts/sudden appearances meant that Macduff did not have a natural birth and that the English would use trees as (something that hides something). This false confidence Macbeth was given was very important to allow him to make his final decisions that resulted in his defeat.

The ghosts/sudden appearances made an effect on Macbeth and he acts foolishly because of them.

When he is told that Macduff has ran away to England, Macbeth, in extreme anger, orders
