In this scene, the three witches met the goddess of witchcraft Hecate. Hecate scolds the three witches for meddling with Macbeth's fate without talking to her and declares that she will take over and be in command. They know Macbeth will visit them tomorrow, so they plan on creating a false illusion to make him fall into confusion. Hecate vanishes and the three witches prepares the illusion.
Scene 6
It was night time somewhere else in Scotland where Lennox walks into another lord to discuss what's going on in his kingdom. When Banquo was murdered, they blame Fleance for killing him as he fled to somewhere else. Both Lennox and the lord believes that Macbeth is the one who murdered Duncan and Banquo. The lord tells Lennox that Macduff went to England where he will join Malcolm and get the assistance of King Edward to help them. Macbeth then hears about the war and is preparing for it. Lennox and the lord hopes Malcolm and Macduff will be able succeed and that there effort will be able to save Scotland from Macbeth.
Reaction
I like where this is going. Something interesting is happening where Macbeth will have to fight for his Kingdom. I can see what Macbeth will be made of instead of hearing all of the boring talk between everyone and his plans for the throne.
Questions
How did Macbeth hear the news that war is about to break out?
Did Lenox and Macduff planned this out from the very beginning?
Why is Hecate taking action now?
Why is Hecate consider the goddess of witchcraft?
When will the war start?
Prediction
I predict that when Macbeth confronts the witches and ask for more information about the future, they will use the charm they made to cause him his defeat in the upcoming war. Or that someone close to him will end his suffering by killing him.
