Act 1: Scene 1 & 2

In scene one, we get introduced to the three witches who talks to each other and wait for Macbeth to arrive.
In scene two, King Duncan and his men went to an army camp to see the captain wounded and began asking him questions.  The captain reply that General Mac Beth and Banquo fought with bravery and courage and described how he slew the traitor Macdonwald.  Then, King Duncan removes the current thane of Cawdor and gives it to Mac Beth as a messenger leaves to go deliver the news.

For scene 1, the only reaction I would say I had was with the appearance of the witches in the beginning.  Wasn't expecting old ugly witches.  Besides that, I didn't really find it a good beginning since it leaves the reader a lot of questions on what's going on.

For scene 2, I didn't have a reaction to the scene since the first scene didn't intrigue me to begin with, I don't really care what happens in scene 2.

My questions are: Was there any ways to improve the first scene better? and Why did the current thane of Cawdor rebel?

I predict that the more we get into the story, there might be back story to how it lead the current thane of Cawdor to rebel.

I chose this picture because the majority of scene 1 and 2 combined is at an army camp where soldier are resting and healing.  This is what an army camp may look like if I had to imagine it.
