Detailed explanation-1: -Weird Sisters, also called Three Witches, the creatures who prophesy the destinies of the main characters in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The term Weird Sisters was first used by Scots writers as a sobriquet for the Fates of Greek and Roman mythology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Three Witches, also known as the Weird Sisters or Wayward Sisters, are characters in William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth (c. 1603–1607). The witches eventually lead Macbeth to his demise, and they hold a striking resemblance to the three Fates of classical mythology.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sanderson sisters: Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker).
Detailed explanation-4: -That grouping is part of a long tradition. The three witches of Macbeth are the obvious starting point. Shakespeare may have based those fate-deciding ‘weird sisters’ on the Fates-the Moirai of Greek myth or Parcae in the Roman version-of whom there were also three.
