The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story, but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere.

I feel when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth he meant it to be on two levels, one ...

The Puritans believed in Calvinism and therefore one of their main goals was to force the Anglican Church ...
