The witches

The witches prophecies are powerful by the way of knowing what is going to happen and they happened. I think in my opinion I believe in the prophecies it would had happen in both ways first the witches knowing what was going to happen and second on how everything was going very bad when Macbeth became king on purpose by killing Duncan .

>:B

The weird sisters prophecies are very powerful when it comes to influencing Macbeth and his next actions. I believe the events would have not happen if the witches would have not told Macbeth his future. Macbeth might have thought about becoming once before, naturally, people want to be on the top, but to actually find out that a dream was capable of actually becoming a reality created ambition within him to try and get the position he wanted.

Jazmine: I agree with you ,the witches where very powerful,

Yvette: The prophecies did change how Macbeth was acting and it caused a lot of drama.

How powerful are the Weird Sisters' prophecies? Would the same events have happened regardless of whether the witches made their predictions? Or do the predictions cause the events of the play to happen? Explain your opinion.
I think the weird sisters prophecies are very powerful because all of what they said was going to happen did. Macbeth at first thought that they weren't as powerful but as soon as the things started happening he started to realize that they really where. I think the predictions cause the events of the play to happen because if  the weird sisters wouldn't have said the prophecies something different would of have happened. Macbeth acted very suprised when the prophecies were happening, he didin't expect that.

yo dem withces were some...shut yo mouth

I think without the witches telling macbeth everything they told him none of these things would have happen. Macbeth was afraid to kill the first time and if he didn't tell his wife what the withces said then she wouldn't have presude him to kill because she would have thought of the actual conscuinces to killing someone. There life would have been normal without the witches..so I clearly blame the withches

Witches ain't nothing it's all BULL!

I don't think that the same things would have happened it the witches had not told Macbeth anything. Macbeth was only acting had and untouchable because of what the witches said. If they wouldn't have told him he would be acting like a chicken. Not everything that the witches said were true. The witches prophecies did cause a lot of drama because that changed how Macbeth was acting.

Witches?

The witches are very powerful. Everything they said Macbeth beliecved and started to act on the things they told him would happen. Macb

The witches.

*Beware of Macduff
*No man of women birth can conquer Macbeth
*Macbeth will not be conquered until Birham Woods comes to Dusinane

The Weird Sisters prophecies are very powerful they are what took over Macbeths head and made him turn insane. I honestly don't think none of all this would have occurred if the witches prophecies were never to be mentioned. They simply got into Machbeths head and made him think other wise, he didn't once have a thought of being king until the three sisters came along. They just made Macbeth think that he was going to be super powerful.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T WEIRD SISTERS

The weird sisters are very powerful on the prophecies because the sisters told Macbeth what was going to happen and it actually came true. I don't think so because when the witches told Macbeth what was going to happen he believe that he was going to become king. If the witches never told him about it he would never become a murderer and his wife would not put crazy thought in his mind or the witches. I think in the play it probably would happen because mysterious things happens.

Weird Sisters' Prophecies

I think that the sisters prophecies are very powerful because that is what Macbeth goes by. He listened to the words that they told him. I don't think that the same events would have happened if the witches didn't tell Macbeth their prophecies. I say this because before the witches came in the story Macbeth was doing okay and he didn't have any issues.

Witchessss!

I think there as powerfull as Macbethh wanted them to be. Like he lived day by day by what the witches told him. I think they would of happen no matter what, because the only difference is they told Macbeth to prepare himself for what was coming but either way it was going to happen. We all knew at the end Macbeth was going to get killed, it was just how it happen what made it interesting.

Done With...*bloop* *Flush Toilet*

The Weird Sister's prophecies are really powerful at least to Macbeth they are. At first he thought they were crazy but once he found out he actually had become thane of Cawdor he began to trip out and actually believe them. I think that the same events would have happened regardless but maybe in a different way. They did say he was to become Thane of Cawdor, which he did. Maybe if Macbeth (aka Lady Macbeth squeezing his nuts) would have been more patient, Macbeth would have been named king the right and honorable way and not by killing the current king. So, because Macbeth let it get to his head and got so impatient and his wife kept busting his balls about it he took action into his own hands and ruined his sanity which later he got his head cut off, what a lovely way to die...just saying C:

The Weird Sisters' prophecies

The sisters prophecies where for the most part accurate but did not tell the whole truth. Like when the witches told Macbeth that no man born of woman will harm him, but that there will be a man born from a sea-section will come to defeat Macbeth. Or even when they talk about the forest moving in towards them, we think it will never happen but does because they use the branches and what not as disguise. I believe weather or not the witches told there prophecies and what they left out nothing would have changed and ended like it did. I feel there is nothing you can do to change the future and was meant to happen.

"Can anybody hear me? It guess I keep talkin to myself It feels like I’m going insane Am I the one whose crazy?"

The Weird Sisters prophecies are very powerful, it caused a lot of drama and pain and suffering for everyone. In opinion I think it wouldn't have happened because Macbeth wasn't even thinking about being king or taking the throne and all of the people that he ended up . But there is still a chance that it might have happened, we just can't speak on it because we only know what we read, and what information was given to us.

Insane to bit insane

Macbeth was more insane when he first killed Duncan and now that he is finally king he is more calm then ever because he so proud of it sadly but then he gets a bit insane when he starts seeing the ghost of baquo because he sended a murderer to kill him and his friend fleance . Macbeth starts to talk to himself a little bit but he is really talking to banquo to leave. Lady macbeths mentality changes a little at first she was a little in control and then she acts like nothing happens and like everything is normal. But its not.

AND THEY THOUGHT KANYE WAS CRAZY

I think that macbeth has passed insane. Now he is just killing people for no reason at all. It's not even him doin the murdering now he has people to do it for him. Maybe it's because he thinks he's to cool to do it himself. Other than the fact that he has people kill other people all none shallantly. He is also seeing ghost. Lady Macbeth is kinda going along with it because she knows what he is seeing kinda.But she is such a gangsta inside and out that she just lets it go past her head.As if nothing is going on at all.

macbeth is insane

macbeth started going insane in act 3, when he keeps talking to himself and his crazy wif keep talking to him about killing. i think macbeth is going to get even more insane throughout the rest of the acts. lady macbeth in my opinion gets macbeth to act in a crazy kind of way because of what she tells him.

Macbeth esta bien loco jajajaja! insane

I think that in act three Macbeth went crazy because of how he was listening to the witches and how he was listening to hes crazy wife. He was also losing it because he kept talking to himself about what he had did. Only crazy people talk to their self. I'm pretty sure he was even scaring himself I would have been scared if i were to be talking to myself. Ha! He was looking crazy at the point where hes guest were there and he was just talking to himself, they were even getting scared. Banquo's ghost was making him go even more insane by making him seem crazy by talking to himself. Lady Macbeth seemed a bit out of her mind because how she just takes everything like its whatever. How she says that the first kill hes always the more guilty one. She seems very calm about the whole situation.

MACBETH GOING INSANE!!! OMG

Act 3 when Macbeth hire the murderers to killed Banqou and his son fleance, he thought it would be good be a better idea to get rid of him that nobody will know. That's when they have guest over and Macbeth saw the ghost of Banqou and became crazy and Lady Macbeth told him he's being insane and no one is there. Lady Macbeth was trying to keep Macbeth calm so the guest would not think he is crazy.

Cray Cray!!!!

MacBeth begins to cross the line of sanity into insanity when he begins to listen to the witches. When it comes to pointing the finger of who to blame the witches seem to take the prize. The witches were the ones who placed the notion that MacBeth was going to be the one in power. Instead of letting destiny take its course MacBeth decides to take things into his own hands. As for Lady Macbeth she also begins to slowly lose her mind. The act of killing king Duncan begins to eat at her consciousness and she no longer knows how to deal with it.

What sane person could live in this world and not be a little crazy

I still don't think he's insane. He became a little a-wall after killing Banquo, he couldn't control himself. That's only because he let his conscience get the best of him and it started controlling him. He began seeing the ghost of Banquo and started tripping out in front of the lords and Lady Macbeth, and here is where we see how amazingly evil she is. She is perfectly fine, should have won an Oscar for that one. She was telling him to balls up and get a hold of himself, she even enjoyed herself drinking and partying it up knowing that Banquo was being killed.

Mmmm O.o

Macbeth started becoming insane when he married his psycho wife&actually listening to her about killing thew king. When he actually kills the king that's when he looses it because he's full of guilt&you can tell he has no clue what to do with himself. But when Duncan also dies he becomes more insane because while they had a dinner he thought he saw the ghost of a Duncan&was actually talking to an empty chair.WEIRDOO! So basically he's just driving himself insane.

t(-__-t)

At what point in the play does Macbeth go from being rational and sane to being irrational and a bit insane? What happens to Lady Macbeth's mental state? Use evidence from the play.

Macbeth has been crazy since he first even listed to Lady Macbeth with the whole kill the king stuff. and then his insanity started to show more and more in act 3 when they were all at the dinner table and Macbeth keep seeing Banquo (his ghost) and he just wanted everyone that was on to him dead. To top it all off Lady Macbeth act as if killing someone is a hobby and doesn't even freak about it or anything, she just tells Macbeth that he needs to calm down and he needs sleep.. but i mean c'mon, eventually she'll crack right? :O
