In "Macbeth," the first prophecy tells Macbeth to beware Macduff. Macduff is the man who kills him. The second prophecy is that no one born of a woman can kill him. In actuality, Macduff was delivered by caesarian section, so technically he is not born of a woman by a regular birth. The final prophecy claims the woods will climb the hill to his castle. The army uses the branches of trees as camouflage as they ascend the hill his castle is located on.

What are the names of the 5 acts in Macbeth?

The Acts don't have names, only numbers. Possibly the names you are thinking of are the names of the five parts of Freytag's Pyramid, a kind of analytical device for looking at the structure of a play. But Freytag's Pyramid (theorectically) applies to all plays, not just to Macbeth.

What other authors write about prophecy?

Shakespeare touches on prophecy in some of his plays. Macbeth is probably his most famous for this. The Greek play-write Sophocles formed his three part work, Antigone, Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, around prophecies. To get a little more modern, Herman Melville worked prophecies into one of the greatest American novels of all time, Moby Dick. But if you want the Holy Grail of prophecies, the Pentateuch, or the first five books of the Bible and the entire Torah, is the best place to look. Many of the same prophecies show up in the Koran as well. It's a great prophetic resource.

What does Macbeth decide to do with the information the witches have given him?

Near the beggining, the witches predict the future for macbeth. Macbeth is startled of hearing that he could be become king so he immediently starts thinking of ways in which this could happen, and he can't help thinking that killing him is an option. He suggested it to his wife (lady macbeth) and she took it too far. Macbeth is really shocked to hear what his future holds for him. This leads him to ambition and determination to reach a high position.- I think this is right>>:)

How many acts are in Macbeth?

Act 1 of "Macbeth" had seven scenes.Specifically, the first scene introduced the three witches. The second scene involved the Sergeant's report on Macbeth's brave and noble defense of king and country against traitorous Scots and invading Norwegians. The third scene matched the predictions of the witches, with their fulfillment in the bestowing of the lands and titles of the Thane of Cawdor upon Macbeth.The fourth scene revealed the trusting esteem in which King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) held Macbeth and his intention to spend the night at the Macbeth castle of Inverness. In contrast, the fifth scene showed the single-minded, raging ambitions of Lady Macbeth regarding herself and her husband. The sixthscene once again told of the King's bestowing of favors and honors upon Macbeth and his wife. The seventh scene worked out Macbeth's hesitations to resort to murder and his wife's determination to commit the heinous crime.
