Detailed explanation-1: -When the witches first speak to Macbeth and Banquo, what do they say? They greet him with “Hail Macbeth, Hail Thane of Glamis, Hail Thane of Cawdor, and shalt be king hereafter."
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth and Banquo are discussing the witches’ prophecies once again. Banquo has been dreaming about them, but Macbeth lies and says they’ve slipped his mind. He then tells Banquo to stick with him, and he’ll be rewarded in the future.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -It is Banquo who first describes the Witches. His words in Act 1, Scene 3 depict the Witches as stereotypical hags – ‘withered’ and ‘wild’, unearthly beings (’That look not like th’ inhabitants o’ th’ Earth’) with ‘skinny lips’, chapped (’choppy’) fingers and beards (1.3. 40–46).
