Question #3

After hearing the witches tell him he will be Thane of Cawdor and king one day, Macbeth says, "But how of Cawdor? The Thane of Cawdor lives, / A prosperous gentleman; and to be King Stands not within the prospect of belief, / No more than to be Cawdor…."

What does "prospect" mean in this passage?
