Hekates Pinguine | Penguin Security

In Vom Schlechten des Guten oder Hekates Lösungen führt Paul Watzlawick, der Meister des "Unglücklichseins", mit vielen wunderbaren Beispielen vor, wie wir, ferngelenkt von der finsteren Schicksalsgöttin Hekate, unermüdlich den scheinbar hundertprozentigen Lösungen aufsitzen, weil ein ehrbares Prinzip oder das Streben nach Sicherheit und Glück übersehen lassen, daß die Lösung eines Problems oft nur ein Trugschluß ist. Piper Taschenbuch  

Who is Hecate in Macbeth? Hecate is the goddess of witchcraft, and you can view her as the ruler of the Three Witches. In Act 3, Scene 5, Hecate appears before the Witches and demands to know why she has been excluded from their meetings with Macbeth. She tells them Macbeth will be back to know his destiny and she proclaims that he will see apparitions that will, "by the strength of their illusion" lead him to conclude that he is safe. She plays an important role in the play because of the lines she utters at the end of the scene: "And you all know, security/Is mortals' chiefest enemy." She reveals in these lines that Macbeth's belief that he is untouchable will ultimately result in his downfall. shakespeare-online.com/faq/macbeth/macbethfaq/hecate.html
