    1. If something bad were to happen, like a simple accident or a fire, there will almost always be a 'witch' involved with the incident. In truth witches did not exist, but people believed that they were around. In the story Macbeth, witches are the main cause of influence. They influence Macbeth to do everything that he does.
    2. Macbeth was an easy target of persuasion. Because of this, he believed everything the witches told him and became so captivated by the prophecies.

    WItches in Macbeth are freaking awesome. They can see into the future.
    Macbeth needs to grow a pair and think for himself. Witches say to do something, he goes along. Wife says to kill someone, he just goes along. Like for real.
