Detailed explanation-1: -The day is foul due to the witches raising a storm, and fair because of Macbeth’s victories on the battlefield.
Detailed explanation-2: -The witches later say, ‘Fair is foul, and foul is fair. ‘ The witches are saying that what is fair to man is foul to the witches, but what men may see as foul, the witches see as fair. Put simply, the witches are seen as evil, but they see themselves as good.
Detailed explanation-3: -Third Witch: There to meet with Macbeth. Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air. It were done quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -The very first speech of Macbeth “So fair and foul a day I’ve not seen” – is an instance of irony. It startles the reader, echoing the speech of the witches “fair is foul, foul is fair.” Here Macbeth is ignorant of the fact about the significance of his speech, while the readers are much aware about it.
