Detailed explanation-1: -The Three Witches first appear in act 1, sc 1, where they agree to meet later with Macbeth. In act 1, sc 3, they greet Macbeth with a prophecy that he shall be king, and his companion, Banquo, with a prophecy that he shall generate a line of kings. The prophecies have great impact upon Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The witches gather on the moor and cast a spell as Macbeth and Banquo arrive. The witches hail Macbeth first by his title Thane of Glamis, then as Thane of Cawdor and finally as king. They then prophesy that Banquo’s children will become kings. Macbeth demands to know more but the witches vanish.
Detailed explanation-3: -After a battle in Scotland, Macbeth and his friend Banquo meet three witches, who make three prophecies-Macbeth will be a thane, Macbeth will be king and Banquo’s sons will be kings.
Detailed explanation-4: -Weird Sisters, also called Three Witches, the creatures who prophesy the destinies of the main characters in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The term Weird Sisters was first used by Scots writers as a sobriquet for the Fates of Greek and Roman mythology.
Detailed explanation-5: -That grouping is part of a long tradition. The three witches of Macbeth are the obvious starting point. Shakespeare may have based those fate-deciding ‘weird sisters’ on the Fates-the Moirai of Greek myth or Parcae in the Roman version-of whom there were also three.
