The Beginning Of Macbeth, Explained

In the beginning of the play Macbeth, we are pleased to have a very enthralling introduction, with 3 witches priming the readers with momentos of foreshadowing, and among one of the most iconic quotes, and also the title of a Ray Bradbury book, "Something wicked this way comes."
