What is a good thesis statement regarding the idea that Macbeth is consumed by his fate and the Witches' prophesies and is limited in his free will?

In act 1, scene 3,hears
from the three witches that he will become thane of Cawdor and later king of Scotland.hears at
the same time that he will be an ancestor of kings. Banquo writes off ' prophecy as perhaps
arising from "instruments of darkness" (1.4.134). In order words, while Banquo regards
the Witches' prophecies as perhaps coming from the Devil's work,invests them with the quality of
truth and believes in the role of fate in bringing about his future.

Macbeth
later says about the murder of the king, , "If it were done when tis done, then twere well
/ It were done quickly" (1.7.1€“2). He believes that it is inevitable that he will become
king, so to hasten his own ascendance to the throne of Scotland, he plans on killing Duncan.
There is never any question in his mind of whether or not he should listen to the Witches;
instead, he regards their prophecy as fact.

Your thesis statement can take
these elements into consideration. For example, it might state that Macbeth does not consider
whether or not the Witches' prophecy is real; instead, he takes the Witches' prophecy as gospel,
or as an absolute truth. He therefore believes in fate and not in free will.

Your thesis statement can also include the effect of Macbeth's beliefs. For example,
because he does not believe in free will, he decides to speed along the Witches' prophecy. An
example thesis statement might be along the lines of the following:

After hearing the Witches' prophecy, Macbeth considers their words as truth and does
not stop to consider whether free will plays a role in his fate; instead, he believes he can
only expedite the fate he has been given.
