    Macbeth‚ albeit having male protagonists‚ portrays its female characters as powerful creatures‚ introducing the play with the Three Witches‚ the play’s representation of chaos and evil‚ and undeniably the cause of the chaos that ensues in the story.

When Macbeth first hears the prophecies‚ and when the first 2/3 of it comes true‚ he does think of killing the king‚ but also‚ towards the end of Act 1‚ Scene 3‚ he thinks that perhaps he doesn’t need
