If witches were truly real and actually had foreshadowing abilities, what would it be like to be able to ask to see your future? In Macbeth, there are three witches that do just so with Macbeth and Banquo. They got their attention with prophecies which were that Macbeth was going to be king and Banquo's sons will become descendants of the throne. This causing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to go on a killing heist to further grow in their ruling, with also having Banquo sent to be killed along with his son. This obviously affected their actions by knowing what would come in the future, I couldn't imagine what I would do if I were told how I would die. Would you even be able to avoid it?

Macduff’s 5 Stages of Grief
When Ross the Thane of Messaging stops by to inform of some new, he informs to Macduff that his whole family has been slaughtered. This is where we see the 5 stages of grief by Macduff which are the following.
Denial: He is first in denial by repeatedly asking if "all" of his family has been slaughtered.
Anger: Then he continues to anger, shown by min calling Macbeth a "hell-kite".
Bargaining: As he asks to stab and kill Macbeth to get rid of him from the world.
Depression: Afterwards, he mourns for the lost of his family, and hopes they will be okay in heaven after being killed and removed from this world.
Acceptance: Lastly comes acceptance, here he brings himself together and vows to kill Macbeth in revenge of his family.

The One Not Born of Woman
Act 4, scene 1. This is when Macbeth going to the witches once again, mistake going at all, to talk to them about his future. At the moment he is paranoid about himself and his security is low, this explaining why he wishes to hear from the witches after their first apparition coming true. The witches then inform him the second apparition which was that none of woman born shall harm him. Being in the 11th century, I wouldn't have worried about this, who was I to believe that one was able to not be born of a woman. Last time I checked the first cesarean section was about in the 1500s... unless Macduff was in reality the first one to be born of c section. Interesting.
Is Duncan a good king?
Duncan was a good king, that was before brutally murdered by Macbeth himself in the beginning of the play. Duncan was a generous man who wanted best for his kingdom and not himself.... unlike Macbeth. Duncan is shown to have been a good king as he in mentioned throughout the play when it comes to contrasting Macbeth to him. He was a strong, noble and capable of ruling the throne with people loyal to him and him trusting the people. The only mistake Duncan made in my opinion was him misjudging Macbeth and his loyalty towards him...
Lady Macbeth’s insanity
Throughout the play Lady Macbeth insanity shows to be increasing, it doesn't take a genius to know why.... she pretty much was the cause to MURDER King Duncan. She peer pressured her husband to commit the act, also she went back to plant the weapons used and set up the scene to make it look as if the chamberlains did it. She also later on summons some spirts, by some kind of ritual to as Shakespeares wrote to "unsex me here" due to what some say because of not enough manhood between herself and her husband. I'm sure that kind of messed her up, besides not sleeping due to sleepwalking and the felling of guilt.
Note to self: Plan out things first before ruining my whole life.
Thanks Lady Macbeth.

Where is Fleance going?
Fleance is the son of Banquo, he was supposed to be killed by some murderers sent by Macbeth but some how ran away and left his father to die. Later on Macbeth was informed of his escape and was never to be mentioned again in the play Macbeth. According to some research on answers Fleance ran all the way from Scotland, through England, and into Wales and apparently even had a son there. Wonder what he is going to tell his son, or if he ever found out who sent the murderers to kill him. Can't believe he just ran with out attempting to save his father, I don't know.
Fleance is the true Ight Imma head out meme.
Why Did Lady Macbeth Scream?
Lady Macbeth dead? Why off stage Shakespeare! Well turns out Lady Macbeth was "suicidal", or that's what most of us assume she was. (It was never mentioned if she was killed or if she killed herself). I think she could have very much killed herself, after all she was kind of going crazy due to her guilt of murdering Duncan. This is seen in a scene where she is sleepwalking and confessing acts she committed including some she felt guilt for even though not committed. In the end I suppose Shakespeares just wanted to kill people to have a shocking ending, But really, off stage?
