Your Acts Precede Your Future (act 4)

Macbeth is an insecure person but more than that he is very worried of ever loosing his crown. Macbeth finds reassurance in the witches and an apparition that says he shall be king until “ Great Birman Woods (be moved) to High Dusdaine hill” (pg 127 line 106). No matter stable his power is he doesn’t stop worrying about losing it, his power has become practically the meaning of his life. He again sets out to reassure it and he goes after Macduff and his family who pose a threat to him.

As Macbeth gets consumed for his power he loses sense of the reality and his morality is lost killing women and children unrelated to his power. As Macbeth tries to reassure his power he only weakens it by making himself more rivals including “ten thousand warlike men” (pg 147 line 53) sent to overthrow him by the king of England. Macbeth chooses his own future by his acts, he dooms himself when trying to reassure himself.
