While Macbeth is away in the battle, he visits three witches who told him that he is destined to be a king. His ambitions became known as his plan comes together, but he quickly begins to back down when it was time to kill Duncan. Macbeth starts backpedaling saying things like, “if chance will have me , king, why, chance may crown me” (Act 1, Scene 3).

She never allowed Macbeth to be a real man. She was more about status and all about herself. Real love is sharing not dictating. Even though they committed various crimes together; theirs was a twisted love
relationship. Heathcliff was so hurt by the fact that Catherine moved on that he became angry, and his motives became parallel to Hindley’s motives.
