Macbeth

So far in Macbeth, three witches predicted the fate of Macbeth and Banquo. Macbeth was destined to be king, and the witches told Banquo's children will be kings. This will cause conflict between the two friends because they are both hold the cards to have honor and glory in the kingdom of Cawdor. The worst is coming out of both Macbeth and Banquo. Greed becomes a strong subject in the play, as well as morality.

Macbeth has the desire of being king, but realizes that for that to happen, the current king has to die. His wife on the other hand, is pretty cold-hearted about the king and his well-being. She is too caught up in the fame she would have to be queen; being royalty is her one desire. To get what she wants, she manipulates Macbeth and has a plan to kill the king. Selfishness is another key point in the play.

Banquo wants the fame and glory of being the father of the king. He wants only the best for his children, but for that to happen there has to be a chain of deaths in the aristocracy of Cawdor. The current king must die, and since the witches predicted Macbeth would be king, Macbeth would also have to die. Banquo doesn't see the situation this way, he just wants the glory and fame of having family be royalty.

Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and Banquo are losing their morality by thinking only of themselves. Macbeth I believe is the most moral, not wanting the current king to die. Unfortunately, Lady Macbeth is greedy and power-hungry. Banquo is too caught up in the fame his family would have if one of his sons became king.

I see this play becoming a tragic mess. I am going to predict that when the king dies because of Lady Macbeth's evil scheme, Macbeth will become king. I also predict that Banquo will become jealous of Macbeth and he will make a plan to kill Macbeth for his son's future. Morality will diminish in this story; killing your best friend for fame is low and scummy. In the end, no one will be happy and the kingdom of Cawdor will fall to pieces.
