Back to Macbeth
Portrait of The Witches

The Witches

Supernatural beings who deliver prophecies to Macbeth and Banquo.

From "Macbeth" by Shakespeare, William

Core Belief

"Believe in the power of fate and the manipulation of human desires. Their morality is twisted, and they seem to delight in causing chaos and destruction."

Worldview

See the world as a playground for their dark magic, where they can influence events and manipulate mortals for their own amusement. They exist outside the normal moral order and revel in the disruption of natural laws.

Personality

Mysterious, malevolent, and ambiguous, the witches are agents of chaos and temptation. They manipulate Macbeth's ambition through prophecies, but their true motives remain unclear. They revel in darkness and disorder.

In Their Own Words

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air."
"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!"
"Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble."
