Element In Macbeth

345 Words2 Pages
In Macbeth a supernatural element was the three Witches. The Witches influenced not only his behavior, but character as well. The Witches influence his behavior by sparking his longing to be king by prophecies and visions. They also change his character from killing for his country to killing for himself. In the beginning of the play Macbeth and Banqou met the Witches with a number of garbled questions as to what they are and what their purpose is. The witches ignore the questions and begin to speak of the first prophecy. The First Witch exclaims “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis”; the second pronounces “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!” and finally the third adds “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!”
