Destiny has several meanings. One of the meanings of destiny: power that predetermines events. The definition of destiny suggests that events will happen and will not change. Whatever unfolds in life cannot be changed by humanity. The statement has undisclosed meanings; fate has the opportunity to change if the person wants events to end differently. However, bad decisions will only spell doom. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, fate is confirmed by Lady Macbeth's desire for more power, Macbeth's internal conflict, and the three witches who trick Macbeth into his death. The witches give Macbeth prophecies that come true; but they don't always work well. The witches speak of the confusion they will create: “Good is bad and bad is right. / Soar through the mist and dirty air” (Ii10-11) The witches plan what to do with Macbeth. “There to meet Macbeth” (Ii7), they are preparing their plan and enjoying what is to come. Making fate change the way they want. The three sisters sing to Macbeth: “Hail, Macbeth! Hail to you, Lord of Glamis! / Greetings everyone, Macbeth! Hail to you, Lord of Cawdor! / Greetings to all, Macbeth, who from now on you will be king!» (I.iii.48-50) Macbeth begins to believe the witches because the first two things they said are true, so they seem sensible. He already has the title of Thane of Glamis; and before long he learns that he inherits the Thane of Cawdor. Believing the sisters seems like the right thing to do. Deceiving people is an area of ​​expertise that witches are good at. Macbeth begins to rely on others instead of himself, which will eventually drive him mad. The witches conspire with Achates “As by the strength of their illusion/ They will draw contempt of fate, contempt of death... middle of paper....../ Before the human statute purified the sweet well-being;/ Yes, and murders have also been committed since then” (III.iv.76-78) the murder that Macbeth has conspired to leak to the audience. The heavy amount of stress puts fear and pain in the mind. Assuring fate through the illusions created through Macbeth's thought process. Fate determines what happens in a person's life. Macbeth and the others are affected by fate through death or agony. No person can escape what happens to them, eventually the inevitable will happen. Changes can occur if the person only makes smart choices and no stupid mistakes are made. Decisions are made based on destiny, what the individual chooses can make or break what good comes their way.
