Explanation:

The first act of the play opens with thunder and lightning. The Three Witches decide that their next encounter will be with Macbeth. In the next scene, a wounded sergeant introduces himself to King Duncan of Scotland, reporting that his generals Banquo and Macbeth, who is the thane (baron) of Glamis, have just defeated the allied forces of Norway and Ireland, led by the rebel Macdonwald. Macbeth, the king's relative, is praised for his bravery and skill in battle.

Next scene; Macbeth and Banquo enter. They're discussing the time and their victory. As they approach a moor, the three witches, who were waiting for them, greet them both and start saying their prophecies.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
