-"fair is foul and foul is fair" many people think that this is the theme of Macbeth (example of chiasmus, paradox, contrast, etc) and this quote was spoken by witches who were actual things and taken seriously back then
-produced and published in 1606 and two years prior any for of witch craft was a criminal offense
-the devil was very real during this time and taken very seriously
-witches serve as indirect characterization of Macbeth and considered evil in this play and drives himself crazy because of his reflection on his actions and such and condemned by others as well
- at the inception of the play, Macbeth is described with gore as he tears through the battlefield and those who stood in his way
-the evil character in this play is lady Macbeth because she manipulates Macbeth without remorse whereas Macbeth at least feels bad about his actions
- Banquo is jealous about Macbeth receiving his prophecy without anything for Banquo
- "come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day."
