Macbeth Essay
The power of fate is endless. It attracted people thinking they know about their fate. The people of dark thoughts controlled people by telling their fate and take advantage of them. Witches did that. Some people who wants money and power also do that to someone else today. Although Macbeth realized that the witches are tricky and he regret he killed Duncan and Banque, three witches totally controlled his life and drive him mad. In Shakespeare, Macbeth is the one who was controlled by the witches and made something to destroy his life. He was cheated by the witches and walked on the road of death. Although it is Macbeth who commits murder, in fact the witches are most responsible. They are evil backstage manipulators.
Without the witches, Macbeth was a good man. He used to be a loyal soldier. He is brave. Cruel to the enemies. He is skillful in battle. He has a huge life risk in the battle and he fights for the country, for the citizen and for the victory. “ Brave Macbeth, laughing at luck, chopped his way through to Macdonwald, who didn’t even have time to say good-bye or shake hands before Macbeth split him open from his navel to his jawbone and stuck his head on our castle walls”(5) He’s such a loyal man and never had bad idea about the king until he met the witches. The witches told him that they know their fate and confused him to kill the King who he trust and will never betray. Maybe Macbeth also has thought to be the king. However, he doesn’t dare to kill the king Duncan. He was encouraged by the witches and tell him that’s the fate. He totally trust them and the witches are the winner. They got their benefit. Macbeth is only a chess that they used in the composition. Macbeth is only a poor man who was confused.
Witches also use some special way to lie to Macbeth. They called apparitions to tell Macbeth three lies. They ask him to beware Macduff. Nobody born from a woman will ever harm Macbeth. Macbeth will never be defeated until Birnam Wood marches to fight you at Dunsinane Hill. And Macbeth trusted that and discussed about what he could do. He thought witches can save him. He was controlled by the witches and trusted the witches too much. “I don’t know how yoou know the things you do, but I insist that you answer my questions. I command you in the name of whatever dark powers you serve.”(135) He trusted the lie and tried to kill Macduff, his cousin’s whole family. At last, he was killed by Macduff. He trusted the three witches too much so he can’t have his own ideas and his life was controlled. He killed Duncan and become king. He killed Banque for his safety. He found everything he did was controlled by witches. He knew the trust at last, but it’s too late.
Witches use special power to confuse Macbeth. Macbeth said there’s a dagger on the table but he can only see that. He tried to hold the dagger but he can’t touch it. There’s also blood splotches on the blade and handle. “I don’t have you but I can still see you.…… ”(53) That’s the special power the witches have. They can call three apparitions. They have the power to control others and know the future. They can give people hallucinations and cause madness. Macbeth is one of the victims. He believes the witches even before he died. He insists that he won’t be defeated. Before he died, he regret his fault and dead with sadness. It also showed that he is a loyal man in the beginning.

Although Macbeth may has idea to do bad things, he doesn’t dare to do that, the witches are most responsible. They are guiltier than others. Some officers with bad thoughts will pay for someone to help him do something bad. They will give them some benefit, however, if they will caught, those officers still can live strong. They can take the most advantage. Those officer just like the witches. They are the guiltiest. We should be careful of those words seems good for you.
