Moody, dark, sinister. Lady Macbeth is pushing him to kill the king so they can have the power. Yet, he isn't so sure he wants to do it, so she does the deed " her hand will not come clean" this is her guilt. The 3 witches tell the tale of what will happen, but they are not listened to by Macbeth and their foretold events do happen. As the trees move into the castle we know that murder does not pay and it brings guilt and ruin.

In Macbeth act 1 scene 1, the atmosphere is mysterious, eerie, and tense. The witches' presence and their cryptic language set a foreboding tone for the rest of the play. The use of thunder and lightning adds to the sense of darkness and supernatural elements.
Macbeth's opening line, "If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not," parallels the witches' cryptic dialogue in the first scene, where they discuss the chaotic nature of their prophecies. Both lines emphasize themes of fate, foreknowledge, and the unpredictable consequences of ambition. This mirroring sets the tone for Macbeth's internal struggle with destiny and moral choice throughout the play. Ultimately, it foreshadows the intertwining of the supernatural and human agency in his tragic trajectory.
