MACBETH

These are all important quotes that support the importance of witches in the play.

Banquo warns Macbeth that “instruments of darkness” often tell half-truths “to win us to our harm” (1.3.125–126).

This scene sets up the basis for the entire play. They are the "suggestions" or prophesies that spark Macbeth's obsession and paranoia,

First witch

All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!

Second Witch
All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!

Third Witch
All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!
