A servant tells him that Birnam Forest is moving toward Dunsinane. Macbeth says, "I pull in resolution and begin to doubt the equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth. 'Fear not till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane', and now a wood do come to Dunsinane." One of the things that he thought never could happen has happened, because the prophecies are equivocal.

Actually, the 3 witches do not commit any acts of violence, in Macbeth. The Witches tell Macbeth of 3 prophesies, which make an enormous impact on him. The Witches represent darkness, chaos, turmoil, temptation and conflict. They manipulate Macbeth, to the point of not being able to recognize evil and good, and they not only venture to seek trouble and havoc for Macbeth but for all mortals. They never tell Macbeth to kill King Duncan but they use a subtle form of manipulation by tempting Macbeth with visions and prophecies that he is destined to be King. By manipulating him in this manner, the Witches are indirectly responsible for leading him to his own doom. The trouble they seek and set out to cause, is not their primary activity but they relish in their quest for trouble, and delight in helping mortals meet their doom.

The quote "double, double toil and trouble" in Macbeth is significant because it is part of the witches' spell in Act 4, Scene 1. It foreshadows the chaos and turmoil that will unfold in the play as a result of Macbeth's actions and the witches' prophecies. The repetition of "double" emphasizes the intensity and magnitude of the troubles that will plague the characters.
