In my opinion, they do not only reveal what will happen, but also manipulate events. When Macbeth approached the witches, they could have concealed the truth from him and just let the events unfold, but they didn't do it. They told him about the prophecy, thus initiating the events that soon followed. If they hadn't told him the truth, Macbeth might have never killed Banquo, Duncan, and the rest in order to become king. So yes, they manipulated events and caused a great tragedy.

In <em>Macbeth</em> (1623) by William Shakespeare, the witches are seen as representing destiny but they only manipulate events.

They do not predict the future, they only make assumptions based on their knowledge about Macbeth's love for power. Furthermore, the witches, who have great power in the play, use their ability to persuade in order to convince Macbeth and Banquo that the prophecies are real. Therefore, the witches end up being also responsible for Macbeth's actions and crimes. In the play, Macbeth does not control his own destiny, the witches do. Macbeth kills Banquo because they "predict" that his friend will be the father of a line of kings. In that way, the witches not only manipulate Macbeth's fate but they also represent his darkest side.

Draw Conclusions How does the motif of wishing apply to each of the story’s major characters: Yoni, Sergei, and the goldfish? Wh
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

<h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish. </h3>

Explanation:  

In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. "With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or  Discovery in a flash,".

For Sergei, the motif of wishing was through the magic goldfish. Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.

The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."

There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.
