Important Quote/ Reading Times

"All hail , Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" (17): This is an important quote because it is the start of all of the conflict of the play. If Macbeth hadn't heard that he was want to be king then he would have never had the idea to kill all of the people that he started to kill in the first three acts. He would have still been the Thane of Glamor and Cawdor, but not the king. This sentence is what starts the play's action and its downfall.
The quote also makes you wonder if maybe it is trying to send a message because it says he is to be king hereafter, which insinuates for a long time after, but he gets killed so fast into being king from what we know from the overview of the play that we did at the beginning of the course. This could lead to many lessons that are trying to be taught. For example, words can be twisted or your fate isn't set in stone for someone to read. It could also state that maybe you shouldn't listen to creepy woman that kill random people because of unshared snacks.

    I agree that this is an extremely important quote within the book. Perhaps if Macbeth wasn't told his fate, he wouldn't have killed his friend and beloved king. If someone had known your fate, is it your true fate or is it what you made it when you learned the possibilities of your life.
