1,616 words(1) Pro. Federico Pat n November, 1997 From the first time Macbeth appears with the witches and Banquo, the reader could notice a kind of tension in the scene. The three witches anticipate Macbeth's future and he seems to be anxious of what is going to happen with the prophecies. But why is he so anxious to confirm the witches words, especially the third prophecy which proclaims him king? I presume that it is because that idea was already in his mind. His ambition and the idea of becoming the ki...

Almost by itself this line justifies Frosts own characterization of the poem as being " about Revolutionary War, " rather than, in a more general way, about the forming of a spiritual commitment to the land.
