- Thunder - The witches always enter with thunder displaying their supernatural form but also can help represent the terror they create in all ages - for example children and adults are scared of thunder and witches.
- They can be seen as the three fates playing with the string of people's life's - this can then be taken into a modern context of three women playing games - making fools out of men
- The witches seem to want death and destruction everywhere and will do their best to create this - we get the sense they have done this before with their repetitive language
- They are the main Gothic element in the play - in my opinion.
- There present to Macbeth seems almost planned to block of his path and take a deadly one -They help present Macbeth as more of an evil character - for example They tell the future been Macbeth chooses his path from then
Good points. Can you clarify how they make Macbeth more evil? What excatly do you mean by this? Do they compel him or suggest things that he then draws on to bring out the evil within himself?
