Macbeth Act 1, Predeterminism - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Fairer sex (more attractive outside) = more foul (inside)
      - But witches look foul on outside; so they offer fairness?
      - Clearly yes. Proof?
      - Women witches cannot make Macbeth do anything; Only prophecise. Shakespeare disagrees with this view, so uses Fricative Alliteration? Or to feel disgust at the witches.
    - - MACBETH
        
        Macbeth can become King by fair means, but uses free will, and chooses the foul means.
      - LADY MACBETH
        
        She is fair on outside, but more foul inside.
      - DUNCAN
        
        Duncan is deceived. "There’s no art/To find the mind’s construction in the face. (A1S4)" Makes Macbeth ToC, so foul.
      - BANQUO
        
        Lets fate take it's course so Fleance can be King, but this is immoral.
      - MACDUFF
        
        ...
    - - Good and Evil are indifferentiated. This permits regicide. This is called "Moral Decay".
      - Nihilist belief.
    - - "is" = merely stating a fact; not prophecising, so they're neither good nor evil.
      - They are never called witches, just "weird sisters"; christian patriarchal society gives them such a label. Are they really evil?
      - The witches never commit an evil act. On their side?
      - Same goes for the prophecies; they don't actually cast a spell.
      - Witches speak truth (fair) yet the truth is seen as evil (foul)
    - - Fricative Alliteration
      - Trochaic Tetrameter
      - Paradox
      - Antimetabole
      - Atmosphere of tension (they ALL say it)
