 * MacBeth:**

=
In MacBeth, choice takes control. Even though the witches tell him that things are going to happen he is the one that ultimately chooses to follow through with them. In a sense, the witches can call each of the events that happen to Macbeth fate because they knew they could influence how Macbeth would end up making choices that would result in the witches predictions. It wasn't his original intent to kill Duncan, but with the pressure of his wife (Lady Macbeth), he gave in. It was his choice to commit the murder. Once Duncan's body was found, Macbeth's guilt overpowered him and it was his choice to kill the two bodyguards, not fate. So even though the ideas of murder and greed were originally planted in his head, it was not his fate to commit these acts of violence. He knew he would have to overcome these obstacles in order for him to maintain power. So he ultimately chose his fate! =====
