After reading the tragic play "Macbeth," by William Shakespeare, we can say that the escape of the character Fleance suggests the following about Macbeth's luck:
- Fleance's escape suggests Macbeth's luck is about to change. So far, in order to make the prophecy come true and become a king, Macbeth has been committing crimes and achieving his purposes.
- However, as Fleance escapes the ambush Macbeth has planned, another prophecy is the one that will come true: the Banquo's descendants will be the ones taking the crown. Fleance is Banquo's son.
- Therefore, Fleance's escape proves that Macbeth's luck is uncertain. There is no guarantee that the prophecy about him will prevail. One's destiny can change at any point.
What happens in Macbeth?
- Macbeth and his friend Banquo meet three witches who deliver a few prophecies to them. One of those prophecies claims that Macbeth will become king. Another one, however, claims that Banquo's descendants are the one who will reign.
- Macbeth is an ambitious man, so he takes the prophecy seriously. He begins to murder those around him in order to take the crown. He is trying his best - and his worse - to make the prophecy come true.
- He plans to ambush his friend Banquo and his son Fleance to prevent the other prophecy from coming true. However, Fleance is able to escape, which proves that Macbeth's luck is uncertain.
- He has no control over destiny, over fate. And, in fact, Macbeth ends up defeated, and Fleance takes the crown. That proves fate and luck can change at any point.
