The Role Of The Three Witches In Macbeth

Macbeth goes through a lot of different emotions throughout Shakespeare's play Macbeth. He's controlled by three evil witches that what him to do the wrong thing. The witches tell him to kill people just so he can have the throne and become king. In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the three witches play a huge role in the story by influencing Macbeth to kill in order to be king, by only coming out durning certain parts of the play dealing with some sort of tragedy, and how they can control Macbeth. My first point is the three witches only come out during certain parts of the play. The witches come out during the parts of the play when something important is about to happen or a tragedy awaits. They come out when the play changes like the weather or there's a new scene. "double, double, toil and trouble fire burn and caldron bubble." That is a example of a new scene that is about to happen it mainly shows foreshadowing and hints to what is about to happen. This shows people that when the witches come out, there is something good or bad that is going to happen. Second, when the three witches appear in the story it is always something interesting and good to hear. The three witches seem to always be on top of things. Also, the three witches are controlling Macbeth's actions. The witches are evil when controlling Macbeth because they tell him to do the wrong things. "he knows thy thought; Hear his speech, but say thou naught." This is explaining that Macbeth knows only what the witches tell him so he will always do it and try to become king.
