I agree. Everybody has an ‘evil seed’ planted in them. Only the really evil person acts on them and commits something morally wrong. Like Macbeth. When Macbeth first received the prophecies, he actually considered them. “ Two truths are told,…but what is not” (line 137-152, Pg 27-29). We see him arguing with himself and feeling disgusted that he even thought that. That was interesting because we get the feeling that something out of the ordinary is coming up and our anticipation gets into the story straightaway. At the end, we didn’t expect that a murderer like Macbeth would have a dramatic and poetic imagination “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,…And then is heard no more: it is a tale” (line 21-28, Pg 233), or that he would, even in defeat, display conscience and bravery. “I will not yield to kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet,…And damn’d be him that first cries ‘Hold, enough!’” (line 32-39, Pg 249). We are surprised, and astonished because we see Macbeth in a different light and for that reason, he is interesting. While Banquo (the good character) on the other hand, was sceptical and quickly dismissed the idea of the prophecies, saying it was just their imagination. “ Were such thing here as we do speak about? …That takes the reason prisoner?” (line 86-89, Pg 27).
