Detailed explanation-1: -Third Witch: There to meet with Macbeth. Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alliteration: The use of the same consonant sound at the beginning of nearby words. Example: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair."
Detailed explanation-3: -Interestingly, Macbeth’s first line in the play is “So foul and fair a day I have not seen” (1.3. 36). This line echoes the witches’ words and establishes a connection between them and Macbeth. It also suggests that Macbeth is the focus of the drama’s moral confusion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Witches in Macbeth cast a spell together as they chant the famous lines, “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” Just like a chorus in a song today, the Witches repeat these famous lines throughout the spell.
