Three Witches

The Three Witches, also known as the Weird Sisters, are characters from William Shakespeare’s play *Macbeth*. They are supernatural beings who influence the story’s events by delivering prophecies to Macbeth and Banquo. Symbolizing fate, prophecy, and the mysterious, they embody the unforeseen forces that guide human actions. Their chant, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair," emphasizes themes of deception and moral ambiguity. The witches serve as catalysts, blurring reality and suggesting that destiny can be shaped by darker, unseen influences. Their presence underscores the play’s exploration of ambition, guilt, and the supernatural.
