The Witches, or Weird Sisters, appear to have correctly predicted that Macbeth would become King of Scotland, as at the end of Act II, Macbeth is on his way to his coronation.  

To what degree would you hold the Witches responsible for the murder of King Duncan?  Who else must share the blame for the horrendous deed?  

Discuss the idea of a “self-fulfilling prophecy”, where a person’s behavior is altered by a prediction that is made.

 
 Reply to another student's journal by adding to the discussion, posing questions and answers, and making connections to texts, the world, or yourself.
