In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] saw visions on his second visit to the witches, in Act 4 Scene 1. The first vision was of an armed head, which warned him to beware of Macduff. The second vision was of a bloody child, which warned him of the greater powers of the man not born of woman. The third vision was of a crowned child who held a tree in his hand. That vision warned Macbeth of defeat with the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. Additionally, the witches rounded up a fourth and last vision. The final vision was of eight kings. The last king held a mirror that showed even more kings. Banquo's ghost followed the vision. And so it was clear to Macbeth that the witches were reinforcing their prediction to Banquo, in Act 1 Scene 3: Banquo wouldn't be king, but he'd be the father of kings.
Hahah suck it
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to ask about the visions which do happen in that scene? I mean, really.
When they first meet Macbeth, they greet him as Thane of Glamis, which he is, Thane of Cawdor, which is about to happen, and King, which will also happen. Later, in Act 4, the witches warn him: 1. to beware of Macduff 2. that no man born of woman shall harm Macbeth 3. Macbeth is safe unless Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. Hope that helps!

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. All of the information from two interactions with the witches helped push the brave Macbeth ever more towards his dark side of ambition and manipulability. 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.

Because they do things in threes. They had three prophecies for Macbeth and now they have three for Banquo.
