Why Are The Witches Important In Macbeth
In order to answer this question properly the roles of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and The Witches, need to be carefully analyzed.
Let's begin at the root of the problem, The Three Witches. After all they were the ones that planted the idea of murder in Macbeth’s head. But before going into that The Witches characteristics need to be examined. Shakespeare wanted to let the people know that The Witches were something of chaos and mystery, he wanted to let them know that The Witches were far from good and nothing but evil. He did this by first introducing The Witches appearing in thunder and lightning, to natural elements that scream destruction with their unknown abilities, mirroring The Witches own forces. In act 1 scene 3 one of witches summons a storm knowing it will kill a sailor whose wife refused to give the witch chestnuts. This adds to their terrifying demeanor showing just how unreasonable they are and how easily they can destroy.
In the first act we also hear The Witches chant 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair,’ which Macbeth later ethos by saying 'So foul and fair a day I have not seen.' This shows Macbeth has potential for evil and will hint to the audience of what is to come.

With this we can conclude that Lady Macbeth is deceitful, greedy, and will do anything in her power to get what she
