PiperKline11 https://padlet.com/PiperKline11/hlrtggj76yfcadn3/wish/2509479797  - Mysterious, perhaps magical trio
- Tell people what they want to hear?
- Offer a prophecy to Macbeth and Banquo:
"All hail Macbeth! that shalt be King here-after." (Act 1, Scene 3, Line 50)
"Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.
Not so happy, yet much happier." (Act 1, Scene 3, Line, 65-66)  ]]> 2023-03-09 01:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/PiperKline11/hlrtggj76yfcadn3/wish/2509479797 What is the statement the witches are making in this quote? PiperKline11 https://padlet.com/PiperKline11/hlrtggj76yfcadn3/wish/2509483471 "Fair is foul and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air."
(Act 1, Scene 1, Line 10)

"That is a maxim that will reverberate through every incident of Macbeth. Its paradox will shape its patterns of loyalty and disloyalty, of love and hatred, of violence and meekness. And so it is that most strange, most crazed of tragedies should inform the frenzy of its opening with the most patient of actions. Waiting."
