Shakespeare’s bloodiest play, “Macbeth,” is a tale of great tragedy. ... The presence of a tragedy theme in “Macbeth” is introduced within the first few lines of dialogue, with the paradoxical quote, “Fair is foul and foul is fair.” The witches that speak this line set forth dramatic conflict between Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth. From the point at which they plot the murder of King Duncan to the conclusion of the story, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth create tragedy with their contradictory personalities and role reversal. ... The next appearance of the witches is when they meet with Macbeth and Banquo. Hints of upcoming tragedy initiate in this scene because the witches proclaim, “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter,” prophesizing that Macbeth will be king. ... He is referred to as “Brave Macbeth,” “Valor’s Minion,” and “Bellona’s Bridegroom. ...
