Pythagoras of Samos is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know relatively little about his mathematical achievements. Unlike many later Greek mathematicians‚ where at least we have some of the books which they wrote‚ we have nothing of Pythagoras’s writings. The society which he led‚ half religious and half scientific‚ followed a code of secrecy which certainly means that today Pythagoras is a mysterious figure

The weather too is poor and hostile: the ‘fog and filthy air’ suggests gloom and unhealthiness. This is a place alien to human values‚ of darkness and foulness‚ and is a sinister challenge to ordinary goodness. The Witches’ use of rhyme in their speech is used throughout the play to bring a sense of incantation and magical charms. We are presented
