It doesn't. On the contrary, if you didn't already know from the title of the play, (The Tragedie of Macbeth, as it's called in the First Folio), you would think from what the witches said that everything will be going great for Macbeth: he's Thane of Glamis, he is going to become Thane of Cawdor, and he will eventually become King. Who could complain about that?
