The Three Witches

Witches were always considered evil, bad, something ungodly and worth killing in old European times. We can understand that because this can be clearly seen through the numerous witch hunts and trials that took place in old European times. Given that, I find it extremely interesting that Shakesphere started his introduction with a conversation between witches discussing future events and conversing with their familiars.
These witches play a critical role in the play of Macbeth. They are all knowing, all seeing, and obviously all powerful. They have the ability to alter the life of different characters and make things work the way they want to because Shakesphere set up the characters that kind of way. I think that the is very smart by doing this because this gives the witches reason, power, and explanations why things happen the way they do.

Macbeth and all the other characters are just seen as simple characters who are swung left and right by the witches. In a sense, Shakesphere might have been trying to say that there are supernatural powers out there that alter the lives of others. I am sure that Macbeth was regarded as a super liberal piece of work because of the supernatural aspect he made it sound as rather friendly and close than super evil.
