Second Apparations
The Trevor Nunn and Orson Welles versions of the second apparitions both have actual voices stating the apparitions, but the way these voices are physically presented, and what the characters look like who are saying them are different. In Trevor Nunn’s version of this scene, the singing witches hold puppets, which are the first three apparitions. These puppets are different from what is in the book, because in the book the apparitions are a higher power than the witches are. If this were true, than the witches wouldn’t have to hold the puppets. This shows that either the apparitions can only be brought to speech if the witches hold them as puppets, or the witches pretend that there is a higher force (the apparitions) telling Macbeth about his future. In this dark cave, Macbeth seems anxious to know about his future. He trusts the witches to strip him and put some sort of mud on his body in preparation for the viewing of the apparition.
