Fate and Free Will- Act 1


Fate
“Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. Not so happy, yet much happier. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none. So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo” p. 9 (65-69)
The last sentence foreshadows to the dispute between Macbeth since he would be in a lesser position than Macbeth. Fate would turn around for the both of them, and bring the, the consequences.

“Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crowned withal.” p.16 (30-31)
Lady Macbeth describes how destiny and supernatural powers will help Macbeth be crowned as King.

“If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me, without my stir”  p.12 (144-146)
Macbeth is saying that if fate set him as being king, that he shouldn’t have to do anything about it and just let it go on his own.

Free Will
“ The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements.” p. 17 (39-41)
She wants to kill the king, her own choice. The moment she knew that Macbeth had the prophecy of becoming king, she was all for doing immediate action and killing Duncan so that Macbeth can become king as soon as possible and get the glamorous royal life.
