The influence of fate and the power The influence of fate and the power which shape people’s lives are the major theme in the play Macbeth. The examples of three witches, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth’s Power to Manipulate Macbeth’s True Feelings. Lady Macbeth has a strong influence on him and is a primary cause for increasing Macbeth’s ambition. She greatly helps him throughout the play to get him through many problems.

Conclusion Lady Macbeth’s deep-seated ambition, rather than her husband’s, that ultimately propels the plot of the play by goading Macbeth to murder Duncan. Macbeth does not need any help coming up with the idea of murdering Duncan, but it seems unlikely that he would have committed the murder without his wife’s powerful taunts and persuasions. Macbeth saw that the first prediction have been truth therefore makes him to cast greedy eyes on the throne and on every prediction that he heard.
