Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth seems suddenly weary when Lady Macbeth dies. His reaction is strange-quiet, subdued and thoughtful. His power and motivation seem to vanish. It’s as if Macbeth no longer sees any point trying to hold onto the kingship.
Detailed explanation-2: -He may accept the futility of fighting his destiny, but he does it anyway. Macbeth’s decision to fight Macduff, by fighting against what he has resigned himself to, shows an acceptance of his own guilt. He is fighting against the completely unquestionable end that fate has predicted for him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fate is something that unavoidably befalls a person. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth the witches informs Macbeth of his fate that he will become the king in the future. Macbeth believes the witches words and Lady Macbeth persuade him to become the king and murder all the people that get in the way.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seyton investigates, and returns with news that Lady Macbeth has died. Macbeth gives a speech about life: “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow / Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, ” concluding that life “is a tale / told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / signifying nothing” (lines 1827).
