The Three Witches In Macbeth
In William Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth. Act 1, scene 1 introduces the witches and their plan of encountering Macbeth. The three witches reveal that the theme is that there is evil lurking around. Shakespeare has foreshadowed the fate of Macbeth as the witches discuss how they’ll be “[T]here to meet with Macbeth” (1.1.8). This quotation is significant because it introduces the main character, Macbeth, and is an indication to the reader on what will happen soon. On my slide, I chose to include a picture of the three witches meeting to plan what they are about to do. The picture points out the witches’ facial reaction and how they will be up to no good. In the opening sentence by the first witch, they talked about the setting on “[W]here shall
we three meet again?” (1.1.1) which makes the reader know that something bad will happen. In my slide, I chose a picture of thunder striking because one of the witches talking about meeting “[I]n thunder, lightning, or rain” (1.1.2). A symbolism for lighting can represent punishment or loss of ignorance.
