Paper Summary:

This paper points out that, during that time period, women did not have a great influence over men. It argues that Macbeth was a strong, powerful man who would never let a woman or anyone else influence his decisions in a negative way. He was not a victim of any other character's influence, but of his own character.

From the Paper:

"Character or fate. Which of these two forces (external or internal) led to the downward fall of a great military hero and worthy Thane, Macbeth, turned evil and murderous when led astray by the prophecies of three old witches. Some people argue that Macbeth is the victim of fate, while others argue that his character decides his downfall. The argument for fate is strongly led by the actions of others, with Lady Macbeth being the prime influence on Macbeth. While the opposition is led by Macbeth^s troubled conscience, his own internal conflict and his hamartia. It is clearly visible that Macbeth^s own character is at fault for his tragic downfall."
