    Which one of the following is not prophesied by the witches in the play Macbeth?
    Question



    Which one of the following is not prophesied by the witches in the play Macbeth?

    A.

    Macbeth shall be the King

    B.

    Macbeth shall be the Lord of Cawdor

    C.

    Macbeth shall be the Lord of Glamis

    D.

    Macbeth shall be the father of Kings

    Correct option is D

    The witches do not prophesy that Macbeth will be the father of kings. Instead, they predict that Banquo’s descendants will inherit the throne, which fuels Macbeth’s paranoia and murderous ambition. The witches foretell Macbeth’s rise to power but also hint at his ultimate downfall.
    Information Booster:
    1. The witches predict Macbeth’s titles: Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and future King.
    2. Their prophecy regarding Banquo’s heirs troubles Macbeth and leads to Banquo’s murder.
    3. Shakespeare uses the witches to explore themes of fate, ambition, and moral corruption.
    4. The prophecy acts as a catalyst for Macbeth’s tragic descent into tyranny.
