What titles do the witches greet Macbeth with after the battle in Act 1? Why is the timing significant?

We need to understand who the witches are and what they represent overall to understand this scene better. Whenever the witches are shown in the play <em>Macbeth</em>, they are usually foreshadowing later events in the play. In the play, when the witches meet with Macbeth, they call him "Thane of Glamis," "Thane of Cawdor," and "king."

This scene is significant overall. Thane of Glamis is Macbeth's original title, so he anticipated being called that. However, he had not, at this point, received word of King Duncan's choice to name him Thane of Cawdor, so he is confused by this proclamation. He is also confused by being called king as they inform him he will one day be king.

It is during this scene that Macbeth is informed of his new title and he realizes that the witches have essentially told him his fortune. The timing of all this is very significant because it proves to Macbeth that what the witches tell him is true. Without this, it is unlikely that he would have believed the "prophecy" that they tell him of his future.

Sav [38]

From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night . That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights. If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed.

How does Tenzing Norgay develop events in "The Dream Comes True"?
nordsb [41]

Norgay started the narration about the climb from himself but then narration is shifted to Hillary’s climb and focus is on the events of Hillary’s incomplete account. Later he resumed the narration of the adventure providing pauses and bringing in Hillary time and again. It seems like the point is being made that the climb would not have been possible with anyone’s single efforts rather it was a joint effort regardless of whose step was the first step.
