Which acts do the witches appear in-macbeth?

Actually, the 3 witches do not commit any acts of violence, in Macbeth. The Witches tell Macbeth of 3 prophesies, which make an enormous impact on him. The Witches represent darkness, chaos, turmoil, temptation and conflict. They manipulate Macbeth, to the point of not being able to recognize evil and good, and they not only venture to seek trouble and havoc for Macbeth but for all mortals. They never tell Macbeth to kill King Duncan but they use a subtle form of manipulation by tempting Macbeth with visions and prophecies that he is destined to be King. By manipulating him in this manner, the Witches are indirectly responsible for leading him to his own doom. The trouble they seek and set out to cause, is not their primary activity but they relish in their quest for trouble, and delight in helping mortals meet their doom.


What are the causes of Oedipus' tragedy in 'Oedipus Rex'?

His own choices on top of his mistakenself-identity are the causes of Oedipus' tragedy in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus receives a horrible prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Despite questions about his parentage, Oedipus panics and runs away from his presumed home in Corinth for an assumed fresh start in Thebes. But on the way, he kills an older version of himself and once there marries a newly widowed queen old enough to be his mother. In both cases, he does not carry out mandatory cleansing rituals. So it can be said that Oedipus' tragedy is caused in part by the mistaken self-identity that leads him to believe that Thebes means safety and that Corinth means trouble. But it also can be said that Oedipus' tragedy is caused by his own rash choices, such as in running away and neglecting mandatory purification procedures.


What is the dramatic irony in Duncan's gift to Lady Macbeth?

"This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air sweetly and nimbly commends itself to our senses." What a nice house! (But he doesn't know he will die because of going there.)"Herein I teach you how you shall bid God'ild you for your pains, and thank us for your trouble." Duncan has basically said, "The party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness!" without consulting the Macbeths first. Now the Macbeths are put to the trouble of hosting the party. But it will be no trouble, says Duncan, it will be worth it. Well, that is what Lady Macbeth is thinking, but not for the reasons Duncan thinks.
