There is no doubt that the predictions and appearances of witches in William Shakespeare's tragedy, "Macbeth", do not only play a significant role - in fact, at first glance, the witches determine the development of the plot. There are three apparitions that the witches use to deceive Macbeth and drive the plot. However, the meaning of the prophecies in the tragedy is much more serious than it appears at a superficial look at the writer's work. But before proceeding to the analysis and prediction of their impact on the course of events, it is appropriate to pay attention to the images of witches, which predict that Macbeth will become king. In this Shakespeare tragedy, everything is very dramatic and mysterious. At first, the witches discuss when they will meet again and decide to meet. (Act I, Scene I, Lines 3-4) “When the commotion is over, when the battle is lost and won.” And then all three witches return to their supernatural affairs. (Act I, Scene I, Line 12)“Beautiful is ugly and ugly is beautiful”Macbeth and Banquo, commanders of the Scottish king Duncan's army, met three witches in the fog amidst thunder and lightning. The images of the witches are fantastic, they don't look like women or men. They did the usual witchy things: one killed a pig; another was making the life of a poor sailor miserable. They would help him by depriving him of sleep. (Act I, Scene III, Line 2,4 page 13 and Line 19)“Kill the pig”, “A sailor's wife had some chestnuts in her lap”, I'll drain it like hey .” When the witches listen to Macbeth they come closer, they dance in a circle. (Act I, Scene III, Line 31, 32) “A drum, a drum! Macbeth is coming." Copyright tragedy gives witches the attributes that medieval legends require to represent them as evil. For the…half of the paper…how illusory the predictions were as they predicted his safety. But in the end, he was cornered like a hunted animal in his own castle who was captured by Macduff along with an advancing army carrying trees from Birnam Wood. But then repentance is alien to Macbeth: all that remains of it first is courage, however, it is not a noble valor of the warrior who fights for a just cause, but the desperation of a lost soul mired in pride and anger . Even before his death he remembers not God or his crimes, but the deceptive predictions on which he relied too much. Macbeth curses the (Act V, scene VIII, line 3) "And believe no more these fiends jugglers", and their prophecy distorted. Now that he knows he is not invulnerable, he no longer wants to fight Macduff but he also doesn't want to give up. Since he has to choose one, he decides to continue fighting, until Macdaff kills him.
