The Witches Reveal Their Prophecies

What is Being Said:
Narrator – Suddenly three hideous creatures were upon the two.
Witch 1 – All hail Macbeth! Thane of Glamis!
Macbeth – How does this creature know who I am?
Witch 2 – All hail Macbeth! Thane of Cawdor!
Macbeth – I’m not the Lord of Cawdor.
Witch 3 – All hail Macbeth who will be king hereafter!
Macbeth – I’m not the ruler of this land. My cousin Duncan is king.
