Destiny, Fate, and Free Will in Shakespeares Macbeth Essay -- GCSE En

Macbeth  The Role of Fate   Fate plays an important lineament in Shakespeares Macbeth.  The weird sisters use serving to wreak havoc among the frugal nobility.  Also, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth tempt fate.  Later in the play, Malcolm, Macduff and the other revolutionaries try to shorten fate.  Fate base be many things to many different people.   If 1 believes that fate is either-encompassing, then it becomes a perfect apologia for ones deeds.  Yet, to Macbeth fate was something far-off more complex.  Macbeth, upon seeing some truth in the witches prophecies, chose to believe all that they spoke and yet occasionally felt that he needed to throw away fate a hand          The weird sisters, consider that fate is not something to be overly concerned with, but rather it is something to be enjoyed. However, their superior, Hecate, plainly thinks that it was important enough to discipline the weird sisters ver bally for abusing it.  The weird sisters muckle fate as routinely as Macbeth views water and bread.  In Macbeth, it seems, the witches can travel in and out of time at will.  Thus, they are fit to both see the future and to change its very course.   When examined analytically, this ability appears to be an illogical paradox, but Shakespeares great work is brimming with paradoxes, Fair is dingy, and foul is fair(I.i.11).  The witches seem to already know the consummation of both Macbeths and Banquos respective fates.  However, they, for some reason unbekn inducest to the audience, deem it necessary to deputize with this fate telling Macbeth and Banquo about their futures. Actions of this nature make it seem as if the... ...n was again his downfall when he became terrified of MacDuff and lost the battle that resulted in his decapitation.          While fate can be viewed as something that cannot be altered, the still w ay a strong person would ever use fate is to his or her advantage.  To use fate as a source of stability and grounds for faith in ones own self and ones own abilities is a positive use of fate.  However, becoming over-confident in or basing ones few significant decisions on fate is not a wise undertaking as Macbeth learned.  Fate is like religion and any other belief ground on intangible ideas it can be a good excuse to not take control of ones own life and responsibility for ones own decisions.  When fate supersedes free will in the order of importance, then cuckoos nest is bound to follow.
