Within Macbeth, there are three witches which are supposed sisters. These witches are very symbolic of demonic thoughts and actions. They consistently lurk among the side lines and implant a sense of negativity among the characters throughout the entire play. The use of their couplets displayed within the play also contributes to the whole idea of witchcraft.

To begin, the witches are the catalyst to Macbeth’s crimes because the convince him that he will become king. Macbeth first meets the witches while returning from a gruesome battle and it is safe to say that they greet him with some audacious titles.

The witches hail Macbeth as someone “that shalt be king hereafter!” (1.3.53). This ignites a fire inside Macbeth, who is an immensely ambitious person.

I Malcolm, the new king of Scotland, was crowned right after the death of Macbeth. Macbeth was a cruel king and made everyone suffer during his reign. I believe that I was good king and after my crowning, I had noticed that many people were still unhappy and going through a tough time from Macbeth. The whole world has changed since Macbeth came into power. What Macbeth did was cruel and I had to go through a few steps to restore the peace. I did what any good king would do, which is to be close with everyone. I did not think it was going to be this hard to get back to the happiness they had. I really did gain their trust and made everyone smile again. He had restored peace and order, but there also were some challenges to face.

I did not trust anyone around me, even my most dearest relatives and friends. I had trouble

The supernatural elements presented in The Tragedy of Macbeth each demonstrate hints of wickedness or evil. For example, the three witches. When presented in the story, their presence always gives off bad vibes. In the exposition of the tragedy, the First Witch asks, “When shall we three meet again? / In thunder, lightning, or in rain?” (I:I, 1-2). The use of “thunder, lightning, or in rain” indicates to the reader of the malicious nature of the three witches. Upon encountering the three witches, Macbeth is astounded. Their prophecies alarm him, causing him to ask what they mean by “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!” (I:iii, 50). Many times, the paradoxes used by the witches confusing. In one scene, the witches appeal in favor of Banquo. The use of their paradox, “Not so happy, yet much happier,” indicates their intention of portraying things not as they really seem. (I:iii, 66).

Firstly, Macbeth cannot control his compulsion to know more about his fate and feel secure in his role as the King, so he listens to anything The Weird Sisters will tell him, as he desires more power. When Macbeth heard his first prophecy and the first two predictions came true, he automatically believed that the third would as well, not doubting the Witch’s honesty. When the Weird Sisters decide to mess with Macbeth they tell him, “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail Macbeth! That shalt be king hereafter.” (1:3.50-53) These were the predictions that the three witches gave to Macbeth about his future. To mislead him, they included an unrealistic prediction that he would become King. He obsessed over this until he came to the conclusion to murder Duncan, the King, and replace him

But the witches who could supposedly foretell the future, add temptation, and influence Macbeth. They had told Macbeth that he would be King he became impatient and tried to hurry it as quickly as he could. But they cannot control his destiny. Macbeth creates his own misery when he is driven by his own sense of guilt. This causes him to become insecure as to the reasons for his actions, which in turn causes him to commit more murders. The witches offer great enticement, but it is in the end, each individual’s decision to fall for the temptation, or to be strong enough to resist their captivation. The three Witches are only responsible for the introduction of these ideas and for further forming ideas in Macbeth head, but they are not responsible for his actions throughout the play.

Macbeth is amazed to hear that they know his name when he does not know of them.
