Read this passage:
MACBETH. Time, thou anticipat'st my dread exploits:
The flighty purpose never is o'ertook
Unless the deed go with it: from this moment
The very firstlings of my heart shall be
The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:
The castle of Macduff I will surprise;
Seize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword
His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls
That trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool;
This deed I'll do before this purpose cool:
But no more sights! – Where are these gentlemen?
Come, bring me where they are.
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act IV, scene i
What evidence from the text supports the idea that Macbeth has decided he
will start taking immediate action instead of being so indecisive?
