(aside) Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen. (aside) This supernatural soliciting 5 Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair 10 And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings. My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man 15 That function is smothered in surmise, And nothing is but what is not.

This supernatural temptation can’t be bad but it can’t be good either. Repetition of “cannot” shows that he is conflicted. Here he does seem unable to control his emotions
He does not want the others to here. This suggests that events are in his control and that he is acting on free will
He questions why the prophecies have brought him success. Here fate seems to be something very real.
Metaphor. The witches prophecies are making him have evil thoughts over killing Duncan. Yet they did not tell him to do this. Here Shakespere goes against fate.
How does Shakespeare show here that events are outside of Macbeth’s control? Annotate with ideas

10. SQUID-Statement, Quote, Unpick, Impact, Discuss context and Authorial Intention

11. How does Shakespeare present fate* in the play as a whole?
What does the quote reveal about fate
Quote
Unpick
Impact
Discuss context and Authorial intention
Later in Act 3 Scene 1 when Macbeth feels anxious Shakespeare has him acknowledge that due to fate, he has killed Duncan for Banquo’s gain and not his own.
“For them put rancours into the vessel of my peace” P.33
Yet the witches did not command Macbeth to kill Duncan or Banquo. By doing so it seems that he has gone against fate and instead acted on free will.
“It is concluded. Banquo, they soul’s flight. If it find heaven, must find it out tonight.” P.35
Copy and fill out the grid finding at least 2 of your own quotes from different scenes to show how fate is presented
