In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, three witches appeared before Lord Macbeth with the prophecy that he will eventually become King. The foretelling troubled him greatly, for although he has secretly harboured thoughts of ascending to the throne, he was ‘too full of the milk of human kindness’ to carry out the deed of disposing of the current King. It just is not him to do such evil. Some time later when the King of Scots decided to visit his castle at Inverness, he gave in to Lady Macbeth’s taunts and murdered the King in cold blood. He was made King, and to protect against the precarious situation he found himself in, he immediately ordered for his closest friend’s assassination to cover his tracks. One bloodbath led to another and Lord Macbeth was eventually killed in battle.
