How do Macbeth's words and actions toward the witches contradict each other?
In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," when we are first introduced to the Witches they state that “fair is foul and foul is fair”. The words contradict each other and they introduce an idea of conflicting illusion and reality. We then hear Macbeth echo these words in his first line in Act 1, Scene 3, “so fair and foul a day I have not seen”. Macbeth is sen as thinking of as much evil as the witches and not seen in control of his own destiny. ChaCha on!
