Which theme from Macbeth do these lines support? (10 points)

This supernatural soliciting
Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill,
Why hath it given me earnest of success,
Commencing in a truth?

Those without convictions are easily manipulated.
Darkness is dangerous.
Ambition unchecked can lead to corruption.
Things are not always what they seem.

Answer:

The theme from Macbeth that these lines support is "Things are not always what they seem."

Step-by-step explanation:

"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare shows how the ambition of people can lead them to really dark paths betraying their own beliefs in order to get vain satisfaction and power. Then, in these lines, it seems that the bad behavior is not really that bad since it leads you to your dreams, and what it was dreamed is what was expected to be in reality?
