Question

Macb.

Speak,
if
you can. What are you?
1. Witch. All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of
Glamis!
2. Witch. All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, thane of
Cawdor!
3. Witch. All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!

How does the witches' prophecy, that Macbeth will one day be king, change
Macbeth's character?

Answer 1

makes him become self absorbed and taken over by the idea of possible coming into power. This changes him as later on in the play we know he kills banquo and duncan and Macduffs family in order to maintain power.
