Quotations

So, for my quotation I chose "By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes." 4.1.44-45

This is important because one of the witches said it about Macbeth, and what she is saying is that Macbeth is more wicked than she.  She's saying that Macbeth has fallen so far that he is more evil than the weird sisters and this is really important because the weird sisters are really, really messed up. They curse men and women  for doing things they don't like, they fooled Macbeth into murdering the King to become king for a short length of time.  The witches are some really crazy people they are Satan's workers and do his deeds of satanism.

The other quote I'll use is "Fair is foul and foul is fair." 1.1 11-12

This is important because it leads up to tell us that we should find the good things bad and bad things good.  For example, the death of Macbeth is... bad I mean somebody died.  However, him dying is good because the poison he had placed in Scotland was gone, he was vanquished.  It's a lot like Breaking Bad, you see no matter how far Walter White descended into evil, we still wanted him to win!! *SPOILER ALERT* IF U WANT TO WATCH BREAKING BAD DON'T READ!! When he poisoned Brock you were like "Well he did it to get Jesse to help him!" No, he's a crazy sociopath and you know that, but you still wanted him to succeed and live through all the people after him.

Fate cannot be changed

Well the main thing in Macbeth is once you realize your fate that it WILL happen.  For example in the book when Macbeth is told he'll be king... He does become king.  Personally if you for any reason know the fate of someone or what is going to happen to them in the future (Highly unlikely I know.) I dont think you should tell them.  I say that because if Macbeth had never discovered this he would have never even considered murdering the king he would've been fine with being the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor.

So I agree that if you discover your fate it WILL happen, I think that there's something that'll make you really, really want what you've been told you'll receive.  Like, if somebody told me that I was going to be King of the World but first I'd become a billionaire and then I did... I would believe that person and then I would have that hope in my stomach to become king.  No matter what I said, no matter what I did, I would have a deep feeling in me that would want to be king.  It's just that simple.
