Detailed explanation-1: -The Three Witches, also known as the Weird Sisters or Wayward Sisters, are characters in William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth (c. 1603–1607).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
