Detailed explanation-1: -Or show the glory of our art? Hath been but for a wayward son, Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do, Loves for his own ends, not for you.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Hecate’s opinion, he is. She tells the Witches that Macbeth “loves for his own ends” and prophesies that Macbeth “shall spurn Fate, ” recalling the words “disdaining Fortune” from Act I. Without this line of argument, it would be easier to suggest that Macbeth is powerless to control his own destiny.
Detailed explanation-3: -Act IV Scene 1: The witches’ prophecies Irony is central to the play. Here, the irony is that all the prophecies are double-edged and turn against Macbeth. The witches say that ‘none of woman born/Shall harm Macbeth’ (lines 79-80), which builds Macbeth’s confidence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Irony is using actions or words to imply a meaning other than their obvious meaning. For example, Lennox sarcastically says that Banquo was killed because he “walked too late” (line 6). He advises, “Men must not walk too late” (line 8). This is ironic because he does not mean that walking late is dangerous.
