The Three Witches of “Macbeth”: Analyzing the significance of the number three in “Macbeth”.

In this video essay I analyzed the Three Witches from “Macbeth” by Shakespeare. I focused on the impact of the witches within the story, along with the significance of the number three within the play. I also analyzed the significance of the number three in witchcraft, and covens, and finally I made also connections between "Macbeth" and other media. Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoy!
