Explanation:
Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that compare things. The first one expresses such comparison by using words such as "like" or "as". For example: My best friend is like an owl. He never sleeps. Metaphor, on the other hand, does not use such words. It simply states that thing A is thing B: My friend is owl. He never sleeps.
Personification is a figure of speech in which an author gives living qualities to non-living things. For example: The grass danced as the rain poured. - Grass is not human and cannot dance. It is personified.
By making the witches say things that have no apparent meaning at the time they were spoken, but which turn out to be very accurate descriptions of what happens as the play unfolds.
You could take any one of their three "predictions " near the end and wonder how that would unfold. I think the easiest to understand is the one about Birnam wood in Act IV
<em>Macbeth shall never vanquished be until / Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Shall come against him</em>
It seems impossible, but what has to happen is that the trees of Birnam wood must come to Dunsinane Hill (where Macbeth is). The audience (if they have never seen Macbeth before) know that trees don't move, so how can this be?
It happens because the soldiers coming from Birnam wood cut the trees down and are using them as shields. If you are watching this, you have to wonder what is going to make it happen.
