The number three represented evil in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. For example, there were three witches, who weren't good witches. The three witches had three greetingsand three predictions each for Banquo and Macbeth. They had three more predictions with Macbeth's second visit with them.

Macbeth went on to kill directly, or to be directly responsible for killing, three specific times. The first was the murder of his own sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. The second and third were the hired killings of his best friend and fellow Captain Banquo, and of his colleague Macduff's entire family and household.

What was the witches second vision for Macbeth?
The second set of predictions by the three witches was revealed to readers and viewers in Act 4 Scene 1. The first set of predictions, in Act 1 Scene 3, had dealt with the rise to power of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The second set dealt with threats to the consolidation of that power. For the witches predicted danger from Macduff, a man not born of woman, and the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. They went on to show that Banquo's family would occupy the throne of Scotland. But the warnings of the three dangers weren't explained. And so Macbeth left with a false sense of security, because of the seeming impossibility of two out of three predictions. But he also left with a renewed sense of purpose, because of the seeming resolution to his problems by the subsequent wholesale slaughter at the Macduffs' home at Fife Castle.
