fate

I think fate is what this book is most about.  it is about fate and how we can affect our fate.  Macbeth starts to go down hill the moment that the witches tell Macbeth his fate.  It sounds good so Macbeth tries to make it come true.  In doing so, he kills the king and his best friend.  He becomes a tyrant and a murderer.  When he consults the witches again, he is told he will not be killed until a forest moves to dunsinane hill.  Macbeth gets over confident and makes choices based off the prophesy, which an opposing army causes to come true.

In the play all the bad choices that Macbeth makes are made because of the prophesy which would have come true even without his intervention.  It is knowing his future that causes Macbeth to make bad choices.  In many stories people learn their fate and go about trying to change them or trying to achieve them.  Usually, this causes their fate to come true usually in a bad way.  If you must do bad things to achieve your fate, then just let it come in its own time.  This usually turns out better, because whatever told you probably did not tell you the whole story.
