In the Shakespearean play, "Macbeth," the witches influence
on how Macbeth made his decisions played a crucial part in contributing
to his eventual destruction. The witches were trying to create chaos by
prophesying to Macbeth in order to get him to act. ... But it was
Macbeth who made the choices that determined his fate. ... But after he murdered
Duncan, Macbeth lost his sanity. The witches were easily able to control
his mind. ... The three witches called the weird
sisters are the root of the problem that is the subject for this story. ... In the play the witches, with their spells, plan the downfall of
Macbeth. They cannot directly harm him themselves, so they tell Macbeth
predictions for his possible future, in order to make him act on them.
The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then
king of Scotland. ...
When the first of the promises is proven authentic, Macbeth then considers the idea of murdering Duncan for the first time. This is his first step on the
journey to his demise, as the witches had planned. The three witches
plan succeeded, they had aroused the greed in Macbeth, allowing him to
make the most important choice of the play - to kill Duncan. Macbeth does
not easily make this decision. ... After constant persuasion from Lady Macbeth, she and
Macbeth finally made their decision. Lady Macbeth would load Duncans
attendants with liquor, and then, on Lady Macbeths signal, Macbeth would
creep into Duncans chamber and slay him with his servants weapons.
