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

English

tekilochka [14]3 years ago

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.

Could you please help with a Thesis?? Thesis statement for the Impact of WWII on American Literature​
Reika [66]
Thesis: American Literature has been impacted by many things. But nonetheless, WWII had one of the biggest impacts.

Then start writing why it left an impact-this part isn’t your thesis. Then, you’re gonna write your body paragraphs. At the end, when writing your conclusion, restate your thesis that I wrote up at the top.

p.s if you don’t know how to write your thesis, try using words about the topic instead of reasons-since you’ll use the reasons in your body paragraphs. So instead of having your thesis be “American literature was impacted by WWII because….” Write something like I did at the top-hope that made sense haha.
