Placing the blame on MacbethThe blame for Macbeth's tragedy must be apportioned between the three witches, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself. The three witches play a very important role in influencing Macbeth's actions. Macbeth with their ability to guide him in the direction they want. Not only do they use their supernatural powers, but they also exploit his greed and ambition. Hello everyone, Macbeth! Hail to you, lord of Glamis! Hello everyone, Macbeth! Hail to you, lord of Cawdor! Hello everyone, Macbeth! That will be king from now on! These predictions are effective in getting Macbeth's attention because they fuel his desire for what they promise. At this point in the play he is the newly appointed lord of Glamis. Immediately after the predictions comes the news that he will be the lord of Cawdor. Macbeth cannot help but wonder whether the third prediction will come true or not. Banquo says that the forces of darkness use the truth to tempt us to do evil, but Macbeth's ambition makes him reluctant to believe it. There is an ambiguity in Macbeth: do the witches represent inevitable fate, and in this case is there the triumph of forces? of darkness, or does Macbeth have free will? If the responsibility for his actions lies with him and him alone, one could argue that what matters is his weakness and his ambition. His weakness lies in allowing himself to be bullied and shamed by Lady Macbeth until the murder of his king and guest. Macbeth I pray thee, peace: I dare to do all that may befit a man, he who dares to do more is none. Lady Macbeth What a beast she was So, did that lead you to tell me about this exploit? When you dared to do so, then you were a man; do we have free will or are we controlled entirely by fate. In the play, although we see Macbeth change his mind about whether to kill Duncan, he ultimately does what the witches predicted; furthermore all their other declarations came true. This more or less veers towards the idea of ​​destiny. If fate is immutable and witches act only as messengers, the blame for the tragedy cannot be placed on the witches, Macbeth, or Lady Macbeth. However, the witches also say of the sailor they are tormenting Though his boat may not be lost But it will be tossed by the storm. This implies that witches have only limited powers and can only direct people within certain limits. If so, then we must understand that Macbeth's ambition and moral cowardice are responsible for his tragedy.
