At the beginning of the play "Macbeth," Macbeth is a Scottish general who receives a prophecy from three witches that he will become king. Banquo is another Scottish general and a loyal friend to Macbeth. The witches' prophecy that Banquo's descendants will be kings creates tension between Banquo and Macbeth, setting off the tragic events of the play.
The play you are referring to is "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. It is a tragedy that begins with three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will become king, leading to a series of tragic events as he strives to fulfill this prophecy.
True. In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the character Macbeth expresses envy towards King Duncan when he hears about the prophecy that Banquo's sons will be kings. Macbeth feels this sense of envy and ambition that drives him to commit regicide in order to fulfill the prophecy.
In the play Macbeth, the prophecy states that Macbeth will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. To disguise their numbers and intentions, Malcolm's army uses branches from Birnam Wood as camouflage while advancing to Dunsinane. This tactic fulfills the prophecy and ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall.
because he did
The "Mirror for Magistrates" and "Macbeth" both explore the theme of power, ambition, and the downfall of rulers. The "Mirror for Magistrates" influenced the portrayal of historical events and figures in "Macbeth," particularly in its depiction of moral lessons and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Shakespeare may have drawn inspiration from the "Mirror for Magistrates" in shaping the character of Macbeth and the overall narrative structure of the play.
In the play, the supernatural, which takes the form of the witches, is both a motive force (the prophecy sets things in motion) and also a commentary. Macbeth, the character, starts by being ambivalent to the witches and their prophecy, but he relies on their prophecies more and more as the play goes on, because he has nothing else to hold on to.
Macbeth was killed by Macduff in Act 5, Scene 8 of the play "Macbeth." Macduff reveals that he was not "of woman born" in a traditional sense, fulfilling the witches' prophecy that he is the only one who can defeat Macbeth.
The play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is based in Scotland. It tells the story of Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman, who becomes consumed by ambition and power after receiving a prophecy from three witches.

After seeing the witch prophecy came true
The quote "All's well, I dreamed last night of the three weird sisters" is from Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Macbeth says this line in Act 3, Scene 4 to Lady Macbeth after seeing the three witches (weird sisters) in his vision. It reflects his troubled state of mind and foreshadows the tragic events that will unfold in the play.
