The witches play an important role in William Shakespear's MacBeth. The prophesies of the witches lead Macbeth to seek the power and prestige of kingship, leading him to usurp the throne of Scotland. But to what extent are the wrid sisters responsible for MacBeth's murderous machinations? Research Elizabethan beliefs on witches and witchcraft, and illustrate how these befliefs shape the action in the play, including the behaviour of the MacBeths.
I'm having some trouble here. I don't know how to put the essay together, and I know I will have trouble finding quotes in the essay contributing to the beliefs on witchcraft and how they shape the action in the play, including the behaviour of Macbeths. I need some help with this essay, it's due on Friday December 2007.
