Fair is foul and foul is fair

How to interpret the witches in Macbeth?







What do you think of the witches in Macbeth? They are a fascinating part of this play. How do you see them dressed? What kind of witches are they? What connotations does the word witch bring?





Here are some images that come to mind when we think of witches. How would you imagine the witches in Macbeth? Are they young or old? We have a much different view of the witches today than the Elizabethans would have had. We already carry with us the images of the Wicked Witch of the West, and of so many others from various movies, even Disney. How does this affect your view of the weird sisters?
