Do the witches' prophecies predict the future or do they make the future that unfolds?
That's an interesting question. I think in the play it is just meant to be a prediction, but of course any time you predict something, then you have the chance of affecting the outcome. Anyone who hears the prediction and who changes their actions because of it could be said to be fulfilling the prophecy, or to be causing it. How much does the prediction actually cause the prediction to happen? I don't think that it is something that we can ever answer and be sure of the answer.

Apart from the obvious fact that everyone's death is inevitable (you don't think that you are going to live forever, do you?) some people view the prophecies which the witches make to mean that Macbeth's life is totally out of his control and totally in the control of the witches. This is not logical; being able to accurately predict the future does not mean you control it, or otherwise we would have to believe that weathermen and pollsters who predict things all the time really have control of the world.
