Why are the three witches important in Macbeth?

The witches are there because they are the ones that innitially put Macbeth on his rise to power, and they show up again to right their own mistake and put him on the road to his destruction. They symbolize simply a demonic world that has no other purpose other than to play these games that destroy mere mortals like Macbeth.

Macbeth's courage in battle is a matter for great admiration and celebration among the other characters in the play. The audience is naturally drawn to join in this admiration. Our admiration for Macbeth at the beginning of the play makes his moral collapse that much more remarkable.


How does Hecate feel about Macbeth?

She is the one who, after finding out that 'her' witches (the witches that she taught to do things like casting spells etc) were talking and "spilling too many beans" to Macbeth about the future, she, as the head witch, shows Macbeth the Apparitions, and she is the one who is a little more evil than the witches, as they did not try to trick Macbeth as much as she did, (she said herself that "security/is mortals' chiefest enemy") only obeyed her orders or had some fun.


How does banquo's reaction to the witches differ from Macbeth?

The witches address Macbeth first, and so Banquo says "But what about meeee? Tell meeee a prophecy." And so they do, but it is a prophecy which will not take place in Banquo's lifetime. He will not be around to see any of his descendants crowned. So he doesn't care much about it. Macbeth's prediction, on the other hand, will have to come true in his lifetime or not at all. Macbeth is naturally more caught up in the possibility the prophecy raises.

What has Macbeth have to do with a fortune teller?

Shakespeare uses the witches as a plot device to change Macbeth's fortune.The length and outcome of one's life (destiny) is predetermined by external forces. In Macbeth, the Witches represent this influence. The play makes an important distinction: Fate may dictate what will be, but how that destiny comes about is a matter of chance and of that individuals own choice or free will.Although Macbeth is told he will become king, he is not told how to achieve the position of king: that much is up to him. We cannot blame him for becoming king (it is his Destiny or his fortune), but we can blame him for the way in which he chooses to get there (by his own free will).
