As it is the last line of the first scene in the entire play‚ it is very powerful and sets the idea of foreshadowing events to come in the play

When Macbeth first hears the prophecies‚ and when the first 2/3 of it comes true‚ he does think of killing the king‚ but also‚ towards the end of Act 1‚ Scene 3‚ he thinks that perhaps he doesn’t need
