- 1"Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair"It acts as a summary of what is to come in the tale. Shakespeare uses the phrase to show that what is considered good is in fact bad and what is considered bad is actually good.
- 2First Witch When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? Second Witch When the hurly-burly’s done, When the battle’s lost and won. Third Witch That will be ere the set of sun. First Witch Where the place? Second Witch Upon the heath. Third Witch There to meet with Macbeth.The Witches speak easily of warfare as something to watch avidly until it’s time to meet with their newest victim: Macbeth.
- 3"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!" "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!"In this quote, the witches are playing on Macbeth's ambition and planting the idea of murder in his head. This scene is very important for the whole play that it works as foreshadowing. Also, the prophecy is the major cause of Macbeth's tragedy. Macbeth's personality is changed because of the prophecy and nothing would have happened if Macbeth did not hear those three lines by The Witches.
