This scene starts with Malcom and Macduff talking about how the country has changed and how they have noticed some changes in Macbeth. 

The scene starts with the three witches making a spell in a Cauldron. They chant and say the ingredients that they put in until Hectate comes in the scene with three other witches. Hectate congratulates them for the cauldron sing and leaves with the three other witches. Then Macbeth enters and is told his fate. The three apparitions tell him to watch out for Macduff and Malcom that fled to England; also the spirit of Banquo will haunt him until he dies. “Macbeth,Macbeth,Macbeth: beware of Macduff” Then Lennox suddenly appears and Macbeth asks him if he saw the three weird sisters but says no. After Lennox says that Macduff and Malcom fled to England.

Act 3 Scene 5 changes the play because Hectate, the three witches were not meant to get involved with Macbeth’s destiny. The goddess is crossed at the three witches” How did you dare To trade and traffic with Macbeth In riddles and affairs of death” This quote shows that the queen is very angry because they were not meant to interfere with Macbeth’s fate as maybe she was planning to do something with him later. Hectate rhymes a lot when he talks to the first witch; this is because the witches like to rhyme a lot when they do spells and chant. This is why I think Hectate chants out Macbeth’s fate to the witch. Macbeth has changed throughout the three scenes because he has become more merciless and untrustworthy.

Shakespeare shows Macbeth’s guilt  when Macbeth is talking to Lady Macbeth about his guilt; Macbeth says that he is guilty also he is gone too far and he is out of control with the situation. Furthermore he is unable to go back to the man that he was before, he will have to carry on killing people because now it is too late. If he was to go back to the man that he was before people would get suspicious and try to kill him.
