i have an essay on macbeth due and i missed everything, do you think you could give me three reasons for why macbeth was responsible for his own downfall?

Well you’re free to read the summary/ look in my macbeth tag/ the resources/ the how to posts. but basically I’d say 

trying to make the prophesy happen

stabbing people to make the prophesy happen

continuing to stab people

going off his head and thinking he’s immortal because prophesy

repeat step 3 

someone needed to have a little real talk with mackers like,”stop trying to make prophesy happen, it’s not going to happen.” Idk, if I were you I’d want to talk about kingship and power and corruption, maybe throw in a little fatal flaw action up in there. examine junctures where he made decisions about stabbing people that led him to his eventual downfall

A brilliant metaphor

[sophonisba]

Evening Post: August 12, 1899. "She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in a scientific fashion…” I would love to know what this means.

You know how, in your medical records, there are entries for known allergies, blood groups, organ donation choices, DNR, etc.? Well, why isn't there an opt-in/out entry for a zombie apocalypse? Because I feel like I should let the relevant parties know that, in case of a zombie apocalypse, I'm opting out. Who do you inform of these important life choices?
