In the beginning of Macbeth‚ Shakespeare uses the motif of fate versus free will to demonstrate that humans are ruled by fate‚ and that no matter the actions that you take your fate is sealed. This is shown through the witches prophecies‚ appearing to Macbeth‚ and telling him his fate; “All hail‚ Macbeth! Hail to thee‚ Thane of Cawdor All hail‚ Macbeth‚ that shalt be king hereafter” (1.3.52-53). This prophecy is what drives the rest of the play. Macbeth‚ knowing his fate‚ tries to make it come

Free Will Free will is the power to choose among real alternative possibilities. To have free will is to have what it takes to act freely. When an agent acts freely (when she exercises her free will) what she does is up to her. A plurality of alternatives is open to her‚ and she determines which she pursues. When she does‚ she is an ultimate source or origin of her action. So runs a familiar conception of free will. Incompatibility holds that we act freely in this sense only if determinism is false

The concept of Biological Determinism is used as an argument against the rights and validity of the LGBT* community to hold a legitimate role in society.
