In Act III, we see a darker side of Macbeth. When does he reach a turning point that ensures his tragic end? Provide examples from the text?
MacBeth wants to learn if he will be safe after seeing Banquo's ghost, so he visits the witches again. They conjure up three spirits with three further warnings and prophecies, which tell him to beware Macduff, but also that none of woman born shall harm Macbeth and he will never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him. Since Macduff is in exile in England, Macbeth assumes that he is safe, so he puts to death MacDuff's wife and young children.
