 Studying Macbeth, let's look at how the witches prophesied Macbeth's future with the three apparitions. The three apparitions appear in Act 141. The first apparition tells Macbeth, beware Macduff. Now the repetition of Macbeth three times here makes us as the audience scared. Bear in mind it speaks in imperative sentences, in other words it tells Macbeth commands. The second apparition addresses Macbeth three times like the first apparition and again the repetition here makes us as audience feel horrified. It tells Macbeth, be bloody, bold and resolute. Now the rule of three here shows that it's telling Macbeth to be bold. It also tells him laugh to scorn man. Now the Cesare hair shows the second apparition is paused into reflect. After it reflects it says, none of women born shall harm Macbeth. Now the assonance of O hair is powerful because it's kind of misleading Macbeth. It's basically telling him that no one born from a woman can kill him. Third apparition tells him be lying and metaled. Now this metaphor is another way of telling him to be brave. Third apparition then says, Macbeth will never be defeated until great Burnham Wood to hide Dunstan Hill shall come against him. Again these nouns are misleading because it's basically saying that places and trees will come against him which is impossible.
