What conflict arises in Macbeth after the first prediction proves true?
The conflict that arises after the first set of prophecies come true is both internal and external for Macbeth. Internally, the prophecy unleashes a struggle within himself, he lusts for power, and his ambition to possess that power is set in motion. He begins to ponder how he can obtain the power promised in the prophecy, but he wants it now. So he considers committing murder, killing King Duncan.
