Throughout history, witches have been depicted as evil, wicked creatures. However, in Macbeth I found that the witches are merely creatures of mischief. Witches are mischievous spirits. They do not force Macbeth to act evil. They merely help fuel his growing ambition, the evil thoughts already ran through his mind. Not only do they ask for nothing in return for the prophecies they bestow, they got in trouble for it. Based on the culture and society Shakespeare lived in, his use of witches in his stories was prolific. Witches have very persuasive tendencies, yet it is important to remember that they control no one.
