From the beginning of the play, we are introduced to the witches. As the play opens, thunder rumbles and witches appear on stage. Thunder symbolizes turmoil and gives the audience the first impression that the play will explore order and disorder. The Jacobeans believed that thunder released evil forces and was an omen of trouble for individuals and entire countries. This conveys a very dramatic atmosphere. Shakespeare also puts witches at the forefront of the play to show how malicious, wicked, and vengeful they are. This is also repeated in scene 3. By also placing them in the opening scene, it emphasizes their contribution and informs the audience that the supernatural is at the forefront of the play. He creates a strong supernatural atmosphere from the start – suggesting that the supernatural will play a very important role in the play. Shakespeare exploits the knowledge and fear of the audience, because at that time the audience would have well understood that the 3 women were witches, whereas a modern audience might interpret the witches as a symbol of the evil, temptation and danger facing we all face. but in this specific case, Macbeth.

That is why we ourselves ask the public why such evil women are looking for a big and courageous man. Are the witches aware that Macbeth is someone they can corrupt? It is obvious to us that they will try to bring about Macbeth's downfall: he will be condemned and ruined like a true tragic hero.

Macbeth continues to murder the Mac Duff family, which is cruel. Why would you want to murder an innocent woman and child for the public to think about? This shows the depths to which the noble Macbeth has sunk. He no longer has any notion of good or evil. He is now ruined. Macbeth had a lot of power and he wanted to use it, but he was never happy, causing his downfall. When Lady Macbeth commits suicide, it is another key moment in Macbeth's downfall, he can even mourn her death. As he has seen so many deaths and caused pain to so many others, he becomes numb and cares nothing, and wishes to die himself although he does not contemplate suicide like Lady Macbeth, this is seen when he says "Why should I play the Roman fool and die with my own sword?"
