Detailed explanation-1: -Shakespeare’s witches are prophets who hail Macbeth early in the play, and predict his ascent to kingship. Upon killing the king and gaining the throne of Scotland, Macbeth hears them ambiguously predict his eventual downfall.
Detailed explanation-2: -The witches in “Macbeth” are important because they provide Macbeth’s primary call to action. The witches’ prophesies also affect Lady Macbeth, albeit indirectly when Macbeth writes his wife about seeing the “weird sisters, ” as he calls them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Are the witches in Macbeth real? Yes. Macbeth really does see the three Witches in the play. Banquo also sees them and speaks with them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shakespeare’s famous tragedy Macbeth is based upon his life, but is not historically accurate. In the play, Macbeth and his wife murder the aged King Duncan when he comes to visit them in their castle. In reality, Macbeth killed Duncan, who was about 39, in battle, and made himself king instead.
