Macbeth
3 Witches have met in a "desert" place. And they speak about how they will see Macbeth, Thane of Glamis.
Macbeth and Banquo (His Best Friend) have just come from a battle, where they have been victorious, on the way back from said battle, they come across 3 weird sisters who tell Macbeth that he is going to be Thane of Cawdor and then king.

Banquo becomes a bit confused and is quite shocked, as he knows his friend well and probably knows that this supernatural intervening could lead him down a dark path
Like Lady Macbeth, other people deserve a present from Duncan. One person who should get a present is Banquo because he fought in the war with Macbeth, and Macbeth gets the title Thane of Cawdor from fighting in the war. Banquo also deserves a present because he is and will always be a loyal subject of Duncan: “So I lose none in seeking to augment it, but still keep my bosom franchised and allegiance clear, I shall be counseled (Macbeth Act 2 Sc 1 li. 26-29). Banquo deserves a large amount of money, or a higher rank in society because he puts in the same amount of effort as Macbeth. Another person who should get a present is Fleance because like Banquo, Fleance is related to the king. He does not need anything big, so he should get a small
Macbeth and another general, Banquo, travel home from the battle and they meet the three witches, who predict that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor, then later King of Scotland, and that Banquo will be the father of kings. They disappear and then a messenger tells Macbeth that the King has made him the Thane of Cawdor. Because
Macduff notices that greed inevitably leads to the destruction of kings, as Macbeth’s greed of power and consequent abuse lead to his destruction, because greed is the worst of characteristics for a king to have. Malcolm believes that being king would cause his greed to increase, as Macbeth’s did when he learned of his prophecy. Malcolm wanted his greed to provide him with wealth, as opposed to Macbeth’s power, but both concepts are the same, as both corrupt the person and make them malicious. After witnessing his fruitless reign being taken over by the sons of Banquo, because of his failed murder, Macbeth is distraught and angry. He needs the power and will do anything to achieve it, but he is realizing that he may not be able
Macbeth, a man who is noble, courageous, and fights for his king. Was one day visited by 3 weird sisters, who changed his state of mind ever so slowly over a course of time. They gave Macbeth and his fellow kinsman, Banquo three prophecies: That Macbeth will be named the Thane of Cawdor, and that Macbeth will be crowned the king of Scotland. As for Banquo, his prophecy was that not he, but one of his sons would be the king of Scotland. Macbeth shortly after this event transpired, was named the new Thane of Cawdor after the previous was killed for treason, this is where Macbeth’s mind started to become clouded with power or having Blinded Ambition in his quest for more power. Once the prince of Cumberland was named, that was Macbeth’s main

Returning from a long and victorious battle, two Scottish generals, Macbeth and Banquo were halted by the appearance of three witches. They foretold that Macbeth would become the Thane of Cawdor, then soon the ruler of Scotland.

Julio Villarreal English 4-W Professor Zirulnik January 18, 2015 The Tragedy of Macbeth Macbeth and his wife invite thanes of Scotland to a banquet with means of proving themselves throne-worthy. Much like the ethereal dagger that leads to Duncan's room, the ghost of Banquo appears at the banquet constantly, pushing Macbeth into random fits of rage and despair. Macbeth’s first order of events as a king is this exquisite banquet, a supposed representation of great discipline and benevolence, which becomes a wicked mockery of itself.

Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel tackles Macbeth in a true-to-the-origin fashion in
Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, is a tragedy takes place in Scotland where two of the main characters, Macbeth and Banquo, are acknowledged for their dedication in the war between Scotland and Norway.

There are many ways that Clausewitz’s and Sun Tzu principles on war greatly differ. Firstly Clausewitz placed most of his focus on tactics and strategies for the wars he was facing at the time. While Sun Tzu’s views were based around strategies that could be applied to different war in different eras. Tzu philosophy on war was centered on the mind, it was more of a “mental” approach.
The Play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare is shaped by supernatural forces with the use of the weird witches, the apparition of the ghost, and the floating dagger. These forces lead Macbeth to act in the way he did and add suspense to the play. The play opens with the three witches, and later on Macbeth and Banquo encounter them.

Macbeth was skeptical about the prophesies, but until some of King Duncan’s men came to inform Macbeth that that he was to be named Thane of Cawdor due to the betrayal of the previous and condemned to death.
