Most recent predicitions regarding Macbeth
I was intrigued by your article on the three sisters a few days ago, and was wondering if you had heard of their most recent predictions regarding Macbeth? I realized that you have not reported on the matter yet, so I thought I would tell you the story: apparently Macbeth went back to the three witches out of fear of that someone may be after his power.
Word is, the witches gave him three new prophecies: he said to "beware Macduff", that "none of woman born" would hard him, and that he will never be "vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him".
All these predictions seem a bit far-fectched, and quite impossible.
I was curious to know whether you had heard anything about this? Seeing that you have not reported on this, I was wondering whether it was just rumor.

Macduff has fled to England
How would you respond to innuendo that Macduff has fled to England? People say that he has fled to ally with Malcolm, one of Duncan's sons, who is supposedly plotting against Macbeth.
I am curious to hear what you have to say about this, considering that if this is true, it would mean yet another change in leadership for us Scots.

Macduff's Family is Murdered
Macduff's castle has been seized and his family murdered last night in Fife. There were no eye witnesses as Macduff's servants were killed along with his family. Experts say that the work seems to have been done by professionals.
Ross, cousin of Macduff, did say that he had stopped by the castle a few hours earlier and everything and everyone was fine then. The only thing that seems to be strange is the absence of Macduff. He was not at the castle at the time of the murders, and had been missing for a couple days then. Now there is still no word or public statement from Macduff. The only possibility is that rumors, as mentioned by our readers, that Macduff has fled to England to allign with Malcolm against Macbeth, are true.
If word of his fleeing got around to Macbeth, it is possible that he could be behind the cruelty inflicted upon Macduff's family. But right now, this is all mere speculation.
Q&A With Macbeth, King of Scotland
Q: How do you respond to rumors that Macduff has fled to England to rally with others against you?
A: These are not rumors. This has been confirmed, Macduff is a traitor. He has been disloyal to me, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that his attempts to dethrone me and destabalize Scotland do not succeed.
Q: People have claimed that your wife is ill, can you comment on her condition?
A: Right before entering this interview I was told that she has passed on. I cannot give any fruther details. It is a pity, though, I wish she had died a little later on.
*It was later disclosed that Lady Macbeth, Queen of Scotland, had taken her own life.
