Call MacBeth to account
Don't offer destiny
But a view of time
There is no predestination,
Only choices,
But choices made within
Limited parameters
There is no doom only
Wrong choices
You can't foretell the future
Only grasp its many variables
And suggest possibilities
What of the narrative of the witches
Who are obviously trying to conspire?
On the one hand they are there
To facilitate regime change
But on the other to bring down a good man
Why? What's in it for them?
Sadly this supernatural theme
Is not born out in the play but merely
Used as a theatrical device
As a foreboding presence
Like the Greek Chorus
Who sing the decision our anti-hero
Has already made himself
