The witches' prophecies all come true. Indeed Macbeth should beware Macduff because Macduff is the one who kills him, the one who is not of woman born. The forest of Birnam Wood (or part of it anyway) does travel to Dunsinane before the final battle.

How much witches are responsible in the Macbeth's downfall?

I think that Macbeth was at first not as "worried" about the witches and their curses as then on in the play he finds out that every thing that the witches has been tellin him are true.


How does Macbeths encounter with the witches show hat the play will probably be a tragedy?

It doesn't. On the contrary, if you didn't already know from the title of the play, (The Tragedie of Macbeth, as it's called in the First Folio), you would think from what the witches said that everything will be going great for Macbeth: he's Thane of Glamis, he is going to become Thane of Cawdor, and he will eventually become King. Who could complain about that?


What was Macbeth's answer when the witches said to him 'Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth'?

The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."


Describe Macbeth's first meeting with the witches?

The first meeting of Macbeth and the three witches serve as an important element for the play and it is from there that Macbeth's decline starts.In fact the third prophecy acts as an instigator for Macbeth and that leads to his downfall.The super hero Macbeth turns into a weakling only after this.It is here that the seeds of overambition gets hold of Macbeth.Had it not been for this meeting Macbeth itself wont be thereIn Shakespeare's Macbeth, the meeting between Macbeth and the three witches serves as the catalyst for the drama. The witches introduce the idea of his being king to Macbeth, or at least make the idea concrete for him. They put fate or destiny on his side.In other words, it is possible that Macbeth had entertained thoughts of being king before he meets the witches. It may even be likely, though there is no concrete or absolute evidence of this. But the witches give him corroboration for his thoughts, if he was having them, and, more importantly, tell him that it is his destiny to be king. That's all Macbeth, and his wife, for that matter, need to begin devising a plan and putting it into action. And this plan, of course, involves killing the present king.The meeting, in foul weather and filled with mysteries (the weird sisters seem to vanish, for example), also furthers the themes of appearance and reality and fair and foul. Throughout the play, people and circumstances are often not as they seem. The theme of the supernatural is also furthered.The problem Macbeth has throughout the play with Banquo is developed here, too--since Banquo is present, he knows the predictions made by the witches, and will therefore naturally suspect Macbeth of treachery when Duncan is killed. And Macbeth knows it. This makes Banquo a threat to him, which will lead Macbeth to order his killing, which leads more and more people to suspect Macbeth.

Where did Macbeth request Banquo's presence after talking to the three witches?

Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] didn't request Banquo's presence anywhere after talking to the three witches. He spoke to the witches in Act 4 Scene 1. Banquo already was dead at that time. The three murderers had killed him in Act 3 Scene 3. Instead, Macbeth requested Banquo's presence at a banquet after the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and Macbeth's coronation the next day at Scone. This request was well after the first meeting of Banquo and Macbeth with the three witches.

Who is second to blame for Macbeth dowmfall?

There's no right answer. You have to decide for yourself who was responsible, which is what is so great about literature. There's either Lady Macbeth, the witches, or Macbeth himself. I believe Lady Macbeth was first to blame for her manipulation on Macbeth, then Macbeth because he chose to do the things he did under Lady Macbeth's word. The witches meerly told him what was going to happen in Macbeth's life.
