What atmosphere is Shakespeare trying to set with these scenes?

• He wants the reader to feel like there is something bad to happen.

• The purpose of the atmosphere is to tell the reader that death is foreshadowed.

• Shakespeare is wanting the reader to feel uncomfortable as if there is something more to come. Furthermore, he is setting the tone to show the reader that there is relevant foreshadowing that will impact Macbeth's downfall.

• Shakespeare is trying to predict Macbeth's rein and future.

Paraphrase the quote, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair/Hover through the fog and filthy air". (1.1.12-13)

• The witches are hovering through the air.

• The good can also be bad, and the bad can also be good.

• The point of being fair when someone is acting unfair to you.
