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: -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-3: -Three witches meet Macbeth and Banquo on the heath (marshes) as the men return from battle. They predict that Macbeth will be named Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland and that Banquo will be the father of kings.
Detailed explanation-4: -Third Witch The first Witch calls him “thane of Glamis, ” already his title, because of Sinel’s death. But then the Witches call him “thane of Cawdor” and “king hereafter” thus prophesizing that he will be promoted to thane of Cawdor and then king.
