It is a frightening, eerie scene which creates an atmosphere of evil and malice. It is plain that no good can come of the witch's plans and intentions, which remain vague. All that is revealed is tha tthey are to meet with Macbeth after the battle is "lost and won". Such a scene would have been particularly terrifying for a late 16th/early 17th Century audience, who believed in and feared the supernatural powers of witches. In this, it sets the tone for the darkness that will follow throughout the play.

I think this scene was very much influenced by peoples perception of witches at that time. This was something the Christian church was promoting heavily to try and wean the population from the pagan sects that had and still have a lot of influence on peoples lives. At the time Shakespear was writing the "play" was a very new phenomena and was catching on fast amongst the merchant and middle classes and therefore had a great influence way people thought. The witches scene still forms the basis of many peoples ideas of what a witch is even today.
