Rip Van Winkile is a representative of an escapist fantasy. The main character is a farmer who can't seem to be a good husband to his wife and a good worker of his farm. Instead of taking responsibility and trying to improve himself, he goes to the forest and ends up sleeping for twenty years. He escapes his responsibility by abandoning his family and moving on to a different life.
In my opinion, they do not only reveal what will happen, but also manipulate events. When Macbeth approached the witches, they could have concealed the truth from him and just let the events unfold, but they didn't do it. They told him about the prophecy, thus initiating the events that soon followed. If they hadn't told him the truth, Macbeth might have never killed Banquo, Duncan, and the rest in order to become king. So yes, they manipulated events and caused a great tragedy.
