Detailed explanation-1: -The Weird Sisters meet with Hecate, their mistress. Hecate is angry that the three witches interfered with Macbeth without her approval, and she describes her plan to confuse Macbeth with further visions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hecate is angry with the three Witches because of their “trade and traffic with Macbeth / In riddles and affairs of death” (3.5. 4-5).
