How many times is honor questioned in life? ... In William Shakespeare’s dramatic Macbeth, many re-occurring themes are obvious. ...
Although deception is everywhere these days, it is also present in Shakespeare’s writings of Macbeth. ... As Willard Farnham explains in “The Witches”, Macbeth is not forced into doing anything. “They are “weird sisters,” but the word “weird” as applied to them cannot mean that they have control over Macbeth’s destiny and compel him to do all that he does” (61). From that quote, one can conclude that Macbeth comes off as being forced into evil doing. But that is not the situation, Macbeth makes the choice to do evil. ... Their imperfect speaking serves as a loophole which pulls them out of being held responsible for Macbeth’s wrong doings. But one can only know that the witches have a sense as to what is to come from telling Macbeth his prophecy. ... One can assume that Macbeth is the deceiving party by deceiving the people or one can say the witches are deceiving by “making” Macbeth do evil.
