people had supersticiouns about witches
witchery was frowned upon
the weird sisters - the 3 witches - the prophecies

her murder of duncan
Macbeth will be the thane of cawdor - becomes king. Banquo wont be king but will have kings, he will be less happier than macbeth but happier,
storms when king duncan is killed (great chain of being)
pathetic fallacy
thunder and lightning when witches appear
great chain of being

people burned or drowned if they were witches
Blood was on her hands - washing away the sin
gets paranoid
macbeth is haunted by the ghost of banquo after he kills them

the three witches predicting macbeth becoming king-
this was foreshadowing the next part of the play

macbeth sees a floating dagger
Shakespeare wrote this to show how guilty macbeth was about duncans death
hallucinations
"come let me clutch thee"
macbeth sees a floating dagger
Highlights the mental state macbeth was in
"is this a dagger that i see before me handle towards my hand"
seeing the dagger in front of him is the conformation that macbeth needed as a way of him convincing himself to kill duncan as he was unsure before.
"is this the dagger which i see before me?" :
the witches did things no one else believed in
