does macbeth desrve his fate

Later on in the play when he has become king and he has reached a point where he has killed the former king and Banquo, and he has waded through so much blood that it would be just as hard to go back than to go on he says " I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more returning were as tedious as go'or-, If he had started to wade back then he could have been a respected king and start a clean sheet. He decided to carry on the slaughter and wade towards an early grave. Macbeth's friend, Banquo has a contrasting personality with Macbeth. When Macbeth is shifting over to the dark side, Banquo wants to "keep his bosom franchised and allegiance clear- If only Macbeth had felt the same and had heeded his friends earlier warning. "But still keep my bosom franchised and allegiance clear, I shall be counselled."" .
             The supernatural has a substantial influence on Macbeth's personality. The witches add to the mind twisting persuasion that goes on inside his mind. they give him two prophecies which play on his mind. The dagger ,leading him to Duncan's chamber which he eventually follows and kills the king Duncan "is this a dagger I see here before me?- and Banquo's ghost seated in Macbeth's place at the feast "Avaunt and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!-. These both tease Macbeth's mind. Although these might have just been visions in his head, the witches must have conjured something up to put them there. Again the supernatural forces exploit these weaknesses in Macbeth's personality. The main supernatural influences are the three witches who play with Macbeth feeding him riddling prophecies. Macbeth goes to see the three witches for a second time for reassura nce about his safety as he has dug himself into a great deal of trouble with armies forming in England against him. The witches give him three apparitions. The first one is an armed head chanting "beware Macduff-.
