What is the purpose of the witches scene in Macbeth?
It depends which witches' scenes you are talking about. The key and most important scene is Act I Scene III, which is a scene taken from Holinshed's Chronicles, Shakespeare's source for the story. The purpose of this scene is to provide the motive power by which the story will run. It is the inciting incident of the plot. Act I Scene I is a scene designed to get the audience's attention so they will stop talking to their neighbours, pinching the orange-sellers and so on, and pay some attention to what was going on on stage. The other witches' scenes, and I include the famous Act IV Scene 1 in this, are superfluous. Their purpose is for the most part to be amusing, by portraying the witches as cutesy fairies who dance about to music and sing songs, while speaking in iambic tetrameter instead of blank verse. Act IV Scene 1 also is a pretext for including the dumb show line of kings which would help get the play past the censors, being flattering to King James.
