Now, argue the opposite of the position you defended in part A. Develop a thesis statement and support it

Thesis: Macbeth is not responsible for the crimes he commits but is rather a mere pawn in the hands of fate.

The witches are the supernatural agents that show Macbeth what is destined. When Macbeth first hears the prophecy, he is afraid of what might happen:

This supernatural soliciting

Cannot be ill; cannot be good:—if ill,

Why hath it given me earnest of success,

Commencing in a truth? I am Thane of Cawdor:

If good, why do I yield to that suggestion

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair,

And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,

Against the use of nature? Present fears

Are less than horrible imaginings:

My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,

Shakes so my single state of man, that function

Is smother'd in surmise; and nothing is

But what is not.

(act I, scene III)

In these lines we see a good human being succumbing to a predestined fate. Macbeth’s conscience does not allow him to harbor thoughts of murdering Duncan. But he is unable to control his growing ambition. A supernatural prophecy acts as a catalyst, and Lady Macbeth goads Macbeth down the path of evil. He shows weakness of will and gives in to her suggestion. He is like a puppet in the hands of fate.
