One of my favourite things about Macbeth is the inevitability of the witches prophecies. Macbeth jumped through hoops to get away from his death, but it came ANYWAY.
If their prophecies really were that accurate, then don’t you think maybe, just MAYBE, he didn’t have to commit regicide? That the king’s sons might’ve died or ran away or something anyway? And then Macbeth wouldn’t have been able to have kids (as the play suggests anyways) and so he’d naturally give it to Fleance, the son of HIS BEST FRIEND? Maybe?
#I love how open this play is to interpretation#I like to think it would happen this way#But he was too impatient#It was always going to happen#But by killing the king#He killed himself#Macbeth#Duncan#Fleance#Shakespeare#This was my favourite thing#Lying blatantly#I love all things#And lady macbeth#Her especially#GOD FEI THIS POST WASNT EVEN ABOUT HER#I know this is probably a well talked about point#But I love how it works#Like there is so much chaos in this play#But chaos is fun
