What to Focus On

  • The play begins with thunder, lightning, and a stormy heath.
  • The weird sisters are not ordinary women; they are linked with fate and the supernatural.
  • The line "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" introduces the theme of appearance versus reality.

  • Macbeth begins as a loyal and fearless warrior.
  • Macdonwald is the rebel leader whom Macbeth kills.
  • The Sergeant’s similes show the intensity of the battle.

  • Duncan gives Macbeth the title of Thane of Cawdor.
  • The original Thane of Cawdor is a traitor and is executed.
  • Duncan names Malcolm Prince of Cumberland and heir to the throne.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The witches are ordinary old women with magical powers.

Macbeth is already king when the witches greet him.

Duncan himself gives Macbeth the title of Cawdor because he trusts him completely.
