they are in fact women or men. The fact of these
characters being witches foreshadows the idea of
this play containing other "supernatural" things,
which we the reader come across later on in the
play. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship is a
"different" kind of relationship. In the
beginning, Lady Macbeth is introduced to the
reader as this evil woman...
