Context:
The witches deal in the power of suggestion to which we are all vulnerable. It is hard to forget an idea someone has planted in your mind. What separates Macbeth is that he takes action to try to turn this possible future into reality.
Strong production choices have to be made about the presentation of the witches. Should they be human or truly magical? Have they real power or are they simply mischief-makers? Are they after Macbeth or using him as their instrument to bring down their main target - the king? |
