Topic > The Power of Fate in Shakespeare's Macbeth - 1000

Allows Lady Macbeth to have great influence over him and thus allows fate to do the same. However, every decision he makes after hearing his prophecy is a choice of his own free will. He may have been influenced by factors outside of himself, but the decisions he makes are completely his own. When he makes the decision to kill Duncan, that is fully his decision. It was he who gave rise to the idea of ​​murder in his head and it was he who followed it through to the end. Nowhere in his prophecy did it say that he would have to kill to secure the crown. Macbeth also continues with his idea of ​​killing throughout the story (Lowe, 2005). Only when Macbeth allows himself to no longer fight fate and finds strength in his prophecy, does he renounce free will. Allow the prophecy to take its course and bring it to fruition
