Have you even read the play? If you have, how do you intrepret the witches role?

None. Everything MacB does are entirely his own decisions. They say "We see this for you!", but it is his choice (spurned on by Lady MacB) to kill Duncan. It is also his choice to essentially give up his free will and continue to live his life based solely on what the witches say. They say someone is going to kill him, he starts killing everyone who could turn against him (Banquo, Macduff's family), thereby giving Macduff an excellent reason to want to kill MacB. If MacB simply said, "Bah!" to what the witches told him, the whole story never would have unfolded as it did. He was not bound to kill Duncan, or anyone else, simply because the witches said so.

zero control. All they did was plant a seed and he did the rest. If I say to you, "Hail and greetings, Queen of England" are you really going to go out and slaughter the present queen to make my words come true? IT's the same thing. They gave him an idea by their greetings, and he totally ran with it (though his wife helped a lot)

That's a literature question, hon, and belongs in literature, not religion.

And a homework help section.
