Kayla -- Opposites Attract


The witches used riddles that really did not make a lot of sense the said opposite things; it made it kind of hard to make sense of what was being said, like when they said that Banquo would be lesser than Macbeth but also greater and that he would not be happy but happier. The language is hard to follow and I often had to read over and over again to try and get an understanding of what Shakespeare was saying in the play. The witches were right on parts though they said he would be Thane of Cawdor and he was appointed this by Duncan, so it is also kind of odd that the witches were right in their prophecies and that they were thought to be dismissed until one of the things they said came true and then he became consumed with what he wanted to be true in that he would be the King of Scotland, he sought their advice and in the end their advice killed him.
