What would you have done in Macbeth's position, after receiving the three prophecies from the witches?

Andrew Dickson Ha! Good question. If I had any sense I'd get out of the whole wannabe king business and set up a golf resort ... But what's interesting is that Shakespeare makes it essentially inescapable: as soon as Macbeth is told of the prophecy, he says, "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me / Without my stir". Basically no matter what he does, his fate is decided. Spooky!
