Shakespeare has introduced a controlling relationship between the MacBeths. Lady MacBeth found herself being very bossy and controlling to MacBeth when she was planning the murder of Duncan. MacBeth gave in to her requests and followed what she asked of him although he was guilty and knew it was not right to kill Duncan. Now MacBeth has been changed and is okay with the idea of murdering people to stay in control. This becomes very obvious when he ordered murderers to kill Macduff's family. He didn't have to kill them for political power he just killed them to be cruel. Lady MacBeth and MacBeth's power has changed his way of life and he is now a horrible cruel man.
MacBeth finds himself looking for help from the three witches who he was previously scared of. He seeks help from the witches when in that time period witches were bad news and cruel. People in that time period would not have looked for help from witches. It is surprising that MacBeth goes to witches for help. Most people also do not want to know their fate or their future but MacBeth is curious. This is the beginning of his downfall. MacBeth learning his fate influences many of his choices, as it would for anyone. If everyone knew their fate and their future they would do things cautiously to avoid messing up their fates, but MacBeth didn't. MacBeth killed many people to keep his power but he didn't think of the short life he would live due to the results of his murders.
