In For The Kill

The three witches also predicted that Macbeth, now the Thane of Cawdor will one day become king. Macbeth has accepted this but then he becomes impatient and wishes to become king right away. His beautiful and strong minded wife, Lady Macbeth pressures him to kill King Duncan. Lady Macbeth is truly evil and is ashamed that her husband is not manly enough to do as she says. She clearly states that she wants to kill Duncan in many graphic ways. Lady Macbeth is hungry for power and it's almost like she wants to become king herself but as we all know that wasn't allowed. I believe that the way that their society visualized women, gave Lady Macbeth that spark of fire or hole of darkness that evolved into the hate of men.

The Three Witches

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" said the three witches. They predicted the future and harnessed their black magic from demons disguised as a toad and another insect/animal. In all fairness I am fascinated by these witches. They appear at such precised moments and they give you just the right information when one is confused or just eager to know what will happen. Even though Macbeth at first does not believe the three witches but is proved wrong of his belief; the prophecy comes through and he is anointed, Thane of Cawdor.
