When Macbeth is talking to Lady Macbeth he says, “I will, to the weird sisters: / More shall they speak,” (3.5.134-135). In this context Macbeth is anxious to go to the witches to see if he should fear anyone taking his newfound power from him.

After Macbeth when to go see the Witches for them to tell him his future from the apparitions, it showed Macbeth’s downfall. In the book Macbeth, the Three Witches were the reason why the reason for the climax.

Although the Witches weren’t all evil, they were just controlled by the evil
The witches are being sneaky here to give Macbeth the illusion that he cannot be harmed. Macduff eventually kills Macduff. Does Macduff, who is not born of woman, (his mother passed before he was born) kill Macbeth because of fate? Maybe he does but why does Macduff want to kill Macbeth anyway? Macbeth killed the king and took the throne, so there is an apparent reason that it was Macbeth?s choice.
Immediately after hearing the witches prophesise that he will be king, Macbeth thinks that he must kill the current king to become king himself. I believe that before hearing the witch's prophecies, Macbeth had never in his wildest dreams thought of killing King Duncan to become king himself. In Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth meets again with the witches, who tell him through apparitions, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!
Roseanne Barr once said, “The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You take it.” In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, lady Macbeth, Hecate and the Three witches take it upon themselves to achieve power. By questioning Macbeth’s manhood, Lady Macbeth manipulates Macbeth into killing King Duncan, therefor achieving a position of power. The three witches play upon Macbeth’s ambitions to gain power over him and lead him to his downfall. The goddess of witchcraft, Hecate, manipulates Macbeth by taking power over the three witches and telling them to mislead Macbeth to his destruction.
Then road home to his wife and told her what happened. Lady Macbeth heard the story and desires the crown for him and wants to kill Duncan in order for him to be crown King. So late at night, she persuades him on killing the king and she drugs the chamberlin so they'll knock out.

After Duncan's death has ben found out, he killed the two chamberlins for their "crime" and gets the kingship.
Macbeth betrays King Duncan because the witches told him he will become king. He also betrays his friend Banquo because the witches gave him predictions that can affect Macbeth. The three weird sisters betray Macbeth because he wants things to go his way. In “Macbeth”, Shakespeare demonstrates that betrayal is lead by unreasonable decisions that cause bad consequences.

Even though knowing that time will never cease, several characters feel as though it has after Duncan’s murder. Wrapped in the need to know their own future, the reader encounters Macbeth and Banquo talking to the three witches. Banquo wants them to “look into the seeds of time” (I, iii, 58), to tell him his future since Macbeth is foretold to be a king. The witches then proceed to tell him that he will beget kings though he will never be one. It becomes apparent to the reader that the witches are a part of the present and the future.
As they wandered onto the heath, the three witches entered as they waited to welcome them with prophecies. Although the Banquo challenges them at first, they addressed Macbeth after all… (Coursen and Herbert 1997). The first witch summoned Macbeth as “Thane of Glamis”, second as “Thane of Cawdor” while the third one proclaimed he could be “the King in future”. Macbeth seemed to be amazed into silence as Banquo challenged them furthermore. The witches notify Banquo that he would father the line of Kings, arrive and inform Macbeth concerning his newly bestowed title.
The first prophecy was that Macbeth would become Thane of Cawdor, and then the King of Scotland. Macbeth doesn’t believe the prophecies until the first one comes to. From that point his greed for power had come to life, with the influence of his wife Lady Macbeth. The women in this novel also have a sense of greed, violence, and are evil. The spark to Macbeth’s greed, ambitions, and violent behavior came from the three witches.
