MacBeth

There was three prophets that came to Macbeth and Banquo and they spoke pure blasphemy. They told Macbeth that he was to become king, this was after Macbeth had totally whooped up on the opposing forces. Macbeth and Banquo were simply bewildered. But soon thereafter the prophecy was unfolding, Macbeth was the new Thane of Cawdor! His wife was all about Macbeth becoming king and was actually antagonizing Macbeth to make things happen quicker. Macbeth did not like the sound of this! He loved the king and thought very highly of him. He did not want to kill him, for he was his king....and a very noble king at that. Macbeth liked the current king and could not see himself killing this king in a illegitimate manner. However his wife thought differently. His wife began to scowl him and call him feminine for not wanting to take what the prophecy for told would be his. I feel that he is trying to convey the point of morals and will power versus the "prophecy", is the prophecy just going to happen because thats what MacBeth thinks is going to happen? Or if the ladies had never come across MacBeth would he still be in the same situation.
