Shakespeare most likely uses the prophecy to set Macbeth's rise to power in motion to show that Macbeth is ambitious and superstitious, and that he was just waiting for a reason to get started.

<h3>Macbeth and the witches' prophecy</h3>

In the tragic play "Macbeth," Shakespeare uses three witches and their prophecy to set things in motion. Their ambiguous prophecy leads Macbeth to get started with his plans to become king.

Had Macbeth not believed the prophecy, nothing would have changed. The fact that he did believe it only shows that he is already an ambitious and superstitious man. All he needed was a reason - any reason - to take the throne for himself.

The deep structure of the sentence "What are you reading?​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explained as below.

Explanation:

There are two types of structure. The first one is the Surface structure, and the second one is Deep Structure. The surface structure conveys the general meaning of the sentence while the deep structure is a structure in which we identify the sentence's abstract meaning.

“What are you reading?” if we see a simple or surface structure merely asking a question, but in the deep structure, we can extract many meanings from this sentence.

You are What you read. Asking like “What are you reading?” could be meant to ask what the next person is up to. We can judge the personality of a person based on what he or she is reading. Because the things we read decide what our future will be. So asking this simple question could take you a lot more.
