Macbeth open-ended question

The students completed the following question in class today: Macbeth thinks about what the witches have told him. • How is he responding emotionally to what he has learned? • Do you think he will leave it to “chance”? Use the passage to provide support for your responses This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not. If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, Without my stir.
