which had “[hailed Macbeth] to…Thane of Glamis” (Act 1, Scene 3, Line 51), the second witch “hailed Macbeth] to… Thane of Cawdor”(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 52), and the third witch “...[claimed] that [Macbeth]...shalt be king hereafter.”(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 53) Each witch had presented their own prophecy for Macbeth. The first witch represents the past, the second witch represents the present, and the third witch represents the future. These paranormal beings are the triggering moment for all upcoming
MACBETH. Speak, if you can. What are you? 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!... And to Banquo they say THIRD WITCH. Hail! FIRST WITCH. Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. SECOND WITCH. Not so happy, yet much happier. THIRD WITCH. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none. So, all hail, Macbeth and Banquo! The witches talk in rhyming couplets both
These powers are called familiars. A familiar is a spirit often embodied in an animal and is there to serve and guard a person. Each of the witches possesses a familiar except for the third witch. Her familiar is never laid on the table for us to see. In my paper I will show how the owl is the familiar of the third witch. First you must understand what a familiar is. In Websters dictionary the word familiar is defined as a closely acquainted; an intimate associate or companion, a spirit embodied in
Act 1 Scene 1 “Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches. First Witch: When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain?

Third Witch: There to meet with Macbeth. First Witch: I come, Graymalkin! Second Witch: Paddock calls. Third Witch: Anon. ALL: Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog
Modern Day Witch Hunts and Similar Events Through out time many people have viewed witches as bad people. Even in religion witches are viewed as workers of Satan himself. “A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them” Leviticus 20:27 King James Bible. Throughout our world’s history there have been thousands if not millions of witch hunt cases around the world. During the Bubonic Plague people blamed
go as mad as you are, only tell me what I want to know. First Witch: You play with fire, but speak and we will listen. Second Witch: Ask your questions, the time is right. Third Witch: Perhaps we’ll answer. First Witch. Hold. We will call for our masters, stay if you so desire. Macbeth: I will not leave now.
A Reflection Upon Macbeth Introduction For this English assignment I am going to write about William Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth”. Through this essay I am hoping that I will be able to comment upon many things about the story of Macbeth, for example the actions of the characters. I will only be monitoring two of the scenes, these are Act 1 scene 3 and Act 4 Scene 1 as I see these as the most influential scenes in the play and they each show how the play is progressing and the changes
make a deal with an evil witch. She asked for legs to pursue her lover on land. The witch did make the deal, but made it much more difficult giving her a deadline of three days. If she could not make the prince fall in love with her after the three days, she would turn into seafoam. The evil witch sabotaged her when the witch herself goes on land and makes the prince fall in love with her instead. With no comrades on land to help her, and the powerful jealousy of the witch caused Ariel to fail. On
In no time she found green dark closet with 3 unusual outfits that looked like it belonged to witches. She tried on the first one and it was too big, then she tried on the second one and it was okay, and tried on the third one and it was really small. So Rapunzel wore the second witch outfit which fitted her the best and noticed that she was getting sleepy.

Proctors. Although Elizabeth is deeply devoted to religion, John does not always go to church on Sundays, has not gotten his third child baptized and cannot recall all ten of the Ten Commandments. As a result of this, accusations of witchcraft upon the Proctor family are inevitable. Reverend Hale wants to prevent this and tells the Proctors, “God keep you both; let the third child be quickly baptized, and go you without fail each Sunday in to Sabbath prayer; and keep a solemn, quiet way among you”(70)
plague would be like or how someone would be found to be a witch a witch, and how does it use exaggeration and parody to achieve its humor. Witch hunts were rampant in Europe in the 1500’s, and people would use many methods to prove that someone was a witch. If someone had witch like features like: a squeaky voice, long nose, squinty eyes, a very wrinkly face, or a mole they were suspect of being a witch. Monty Python shows this with the “Witch Scene” an angry mob brings a
during the Salem Witch Trials, which was a hysterical time. During the Salem witch trials some of the causes of the hysteria were fundamentalism, absence of a just and equal society, and Ergotism. One cause of the hysteria in the Salem witch trials was that the residents of Salem were fundamentalists. Fundamentalists follow the Bible’s word to the letter; if something is written in the Bible, it’s true and is is the law. In the book of Exodus, it states, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” (Document
Violence, Sensationalism, and the Supernatural in Macbeth Shakespeare had a thorough idea of what his audience wanted. In Macbeth he used violence, sensationalism, and elements of the supernatural to appeal to his audience. Shakespeare knew his audience when he used violence in Macbeth to heighten the effect of the play. One example of the violence is this scene. Lady Macbeth "That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold; What hath quenched them hath given me fire. Hark! Peace!
Although she never actually sang in the book, it was implied that she had a just as wonderful voice as the film adaption. Another similarity was the “Sea Witch”. Often referred to as Ursula in the movie she is a fat squid like woman who has been banished and cast out but now takes advantage of hopeless people who are in need of her magic. The third similarity is the prince. In both the book and the film this handsome looking teenage boy is ready to marry as his birthday passes. The fourth and final
primary source is Matthew Hopkins’ The Discovery of Witches, published in 1647. Hopkins’ witch-hunting tactics were recommended in national and international law books. It should be noted that Hopkins’ book had such a large impact that it was used as a guideline in America to hunt witches too. Following the Lancaster Witch Trial, 1634, it was enforced that there now had to be material proof of being a witch. Hopkins’, known national policy focused on whether the accused had made a pledge to the Devil
'witches can be described as heretics and anarchists,'; most of which follow the chief of demons, also known as the Devil. Obviously Mr. Summers, along with many other people, takes a pessimistic view towards the realm of witchcraft. Among these anti-witch enthusiasts was Henry VIII, who was the first king of England to pass Statute against the practice of witchcraft. Many kings who ruled after Henry VIII also created statutes against witchcraft. James I made one in 1604, which was repealed over a century
Salem Witch Trials of 1693 are one of these experiences. Witch-hunts usually involve moral panic or mass hysteria, and in Salem’s case, the hanging of 19 people (Notes). Unfortunately, witch-hunts are still seen today. They target large masses of innocent people, often times because they fit a certain stereotype. Most of society does not want witch-hunts but personal and society values clash creating a hysteria-filled witch-hunt. The Crucible truly embodies the atmosphere and origin of witch-hunts
defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as: “a place or situation in which concentrated forces interact to cause or influence change that produces something new.” The play can, without a doubt, be likened to this definition as well. If you look at the witch trials themselves, while the accused were in the courtroom, they were enduring a test of their character and moral values. The charged had a very hard time getting people to even listen to their point of view, if not even consider it. In addition,
wrote plays that incorporated comedies, history, character tragedies and romance. One of Shakespeare’s prominent tragic plays Macbeth has much speculation over four witch scenes and two songs that are thought to be plagiarized. The four witch scenes in Macbeth should be legal and ethically performed within the play. First, all four witch scenes are vital to form the tragic character flaw of the play and the role of the witches preform the inciting event that leads to the character Macbeth's destruction
as a witch or ghost, they all acted as a type of catalyst. When Macbeth first met the witches, they told him he would be a king and when Macbeth saw his friend Banquo's ghost, it set him off on a downward spiral. The Supernatural phenomena all influenced Macbeth and his wife to do things that they would never have thought of doing such as killing King Duncan. All of the projected outcomes came true, however the eventual outcomes that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth predicted did not. In the third scene
