In Macbeth, the ingredients "eye of newt and toe of frog" in the witches' potion symbolize the supernatural and dark nature of their magic. These ingredients are used to create a sense of mystery and foreboding, emphasizing the witches' connection to the supernatural world and their ability to manipulate fate.
Hecate wants the witches to create a magical potion to deceive Macbeth and lead him to his downfall. She wants them to use their powers to manipulate Macbeth into feeling overconfident and secure, which will ultimately result in his defeat.
The play is not clear on this point. The potion was drunk by Macbeth in the 1971 Roman Polanski movie starring Jon Finch. In the Trevor Nunn RSC production with Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench the potion is smeared on Macbeth's body. It's the director's call.
Hecate admiring the witches' potion in Shakespeare's Macbeth can be seen as her approval of their manipulation and deception. By praising their work, she is encouraging their mischievous and evil actions, highlighting her role as a supernatural force guiding their actions towards darkness and chaos.
MacBeth meets the three witches with lady MacBeth
The witches in Macbeth do not have individual names. They are only referred to as the three witches or the Weird Sisters.
Macbeth.
The witches only gave Macbeth prophecies. It was his decision to do so after Lady Macbeth persuaded him. Although the witches' intentions was probably to cause this murder, the witches did not make Macbeth muder Duncan.
Macbeth did not like what the witches had told him.
Macbeth does.
No, the witches are proclaiming and predicting that Macbeth will be king and they are praising Macbeth.
Lady Macbeth echoes the words of the witches when she says "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!". This echoes the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will become king.
