Every road has a twist

Edward DeVere (Shakespeare) writes plays in 5 acts. Usually, Act IV gives away what is about to happen at the climax in Act V. That is true in the play Macbeth. The opening scene of Act IV is one in which 3 witches appear to give Macbeth some information. Macbeth demands to know his future since he sees trouble ahead of him as others seek to take the throne of Scotland from him. So, the witches oblige him with ghosts to converse with. Then they comment on the ghosts' conversations. Near the end of the scene, the witches cryptically foretell some of what is in store for Macbeth.

"Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be
until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
Shall come against him."

Macbeth takes this to mean that he will not be defeated. In reality, the words are the ones that lure him to his death.

Unbelievably, Hailey Dunn's mother was arrested last Thursday. The Colorado City police have been pretty deliberate on how they have handled the Dunn case. But, eventually, people who are rash at heart reveal their tragic flaws. Macbeth had been careful to a certain degree in hiding his awful deed. But, he got sloppy after the witches apparently gave him their blessing that he would reign as king even though he was beset by the noblest lords of Scotland. He slipped.

The arrest was a deliberate move, but not a careful one. They arrested someone not a suspect, but have not arrested the case's only suspect. Birnam wood just moved against Dunsinane hill. The police interrogated Billie Dunn for 2 1/2 hours according to the Colorado City Record. Then they charged her on three counts. Oops. Milk someone for hours, then throw the whole case into the legal arena? Then, they found more pornographic images on computers. More smoke screens. But, that doesn't matter. The case is not merely in their hands now. It's Act IV in the case of Hailey Dunn. A clue to the climax was just given.

Fortune will now favor the legal pursuit and take the impetus from the law enforcement arena. Just love it when something deliberate happens to suddenly give an event an unanticipated twist. Witches could not have predicted a better twist than the one that happened naturally. Welcome to the world of the attorneys.
