The scene starts with the three witches talking to each other. They ask one of the sisters where they were. She says she is ‘killing swine’. The first witch then tells sort of story. She says that she asked a sailor’s wife for some chestnuts she was eating. However the women said no. Then all the sisters decided to take revenge by sinking the boat. Macbeth and Banquo them enter the scene. Banquo says “not like the inhabitants o’ the earth”, I think this means that he thinks that they don’t look human. He also say that they should be women but their ‘beards’ don’t allow him to see that they are women. The witches then, in sync, hail Macbeth. The scene carries on a the witches disappear. Banquo and Macbeth about how they are confused on the disappearance of the witches. Macbeth and Duncan celebrate how Macbeth is going to be king, they say that his children will be kings.
