Detailed explanation-1: -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. Ross and Angus arrive to tell Macbeth that he has been given the title Thane of Cawdor by Duncan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare intended to portray the witches as different from the human characters in the play, which is partly accomplished by making their speech distinct from the rest of the dialogue.
Detailed explanation-3: -The way they speak emphasises the fact that they are different to other characters-they exist outside of the natural order so they speak unnaturally. Lady Macbeth occasionally speaks in rhyme-usually to make two lines of speech sound more final or to emphasise that it’s important.
Detailed explanation-4: -The witches do not speak in blank verse.
