SCENE-BY-SCENE ANALYSIS
Act 1 Scene 1
    The three weyard sisters arrange to appear to Macbeth later, introducing the supernatural element to the play and establishing a dark, malevolent tone. Their chant of “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” introduces inverted values and the storm invokes nature in disorder.
Act 1 Scene 2
    An injured captain reports on the battle with the rebel Macdonald. He describes “valiant” Macbeth’s brave but violent slaying of Macdonald as he “unseamed him from the nave to th’chops.” Ross brings news of Macdonald’s Norwegian allies, reporting that they had “terrible numbers” and were assisted by the Thane of Cawdor, traitor against King Duncan, but were defeated by “Bellona’s bridegroom”—Macbeth. Duncan pronounces that Cawdor is to be executed and Macbeth is to have his title, ironically asserting that “No more that Thane of Cawdor shall deceive / Our bosom interest.”
Act 1 Scene 3
    Lines 1–38: The three weyard sisters reveal their cruel natures as they wait. They hear Macbeth coming and work a spell until “the charm’s wound up,” setting in motion events that will gather momentum, a recurrent image throughout the play.
    Lines 39–91: Macbeth’s comment that the day has been “So foul and fair” echoes the words of the three weyard sisters in Act 1 Scene 1. Banquo’s response to the sight of the sisters reinforces their nonhuman qualities: they “look not like th’inhabitants o’th’earth.” He says that they “should be women” but their beards suggest otherwise: gender is called into question. Macbeth wants them to speak,which they do, hailing him as “Thane of Glamis,” the title he already holds, but
