I this Scene, we see how Macbeth pays the witches a visit to kind of ask them about the future. The witches as representatives of evil obviously agreed to what Macbeth has asked them to do. The witches decided to give him apparitions. The first Apparition was an armed head, and he said that Macbeth needs to be careful of Macduff (the thane of fife).
FIRST APPARITION
Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff.Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.
The second apparition was a bloody child, and he told Macbeth that no one who is born from a women can harm him (just a point, a surgery does not count).
SECOND APPARITION
Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scornThe power of man, for none of woman bornShall harm Macbeth.
The third apparition was a child crowned, with a tree in his hand, and he told Macbeth that the end will be when the Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill forest comes near his castle.
THIRD APPARITIONBe lion-mettled, proud, and take no careWho chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are.Macbeth shall never vanquished be untilGreat Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane HillShall come against him.
The fourth apparition was a display of eight kings that looked like Banquo and his sons, Macbeth obviously disliked that and started getting frustrated.
A show of eight kings, the last with a glass in his hand, followed by BANQUOMACBETHThou art too like the spirit of Banquo. Down!Thy crown does sear mine eyeballs. And thy hair,Thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first.A third is like the former.—Filthy hags!Why do you show me this? A fourth? Start, eyes!What, will the line stretch out to th’ crack of doom?Another yet? A seventh? I’ll see no more.And yet the eighth appears, who bears a glassWhich shows me many more, and some I seeThat twofold balls and treble scepters carry.Horrible sight! Now I see ’tis true;For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon meAnd points at them for his.
He then asks if Lennox has seen some weird girls, and wished upon all the people that trust them hell. (Including himself!)
