ACT I SCENE I. A desert place. Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches First Witch When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? Macbeth Quotes from Lit. Charts . He wishes to obscure these evil thoughts from outside observers. In these early moments in the play, Macbeth is still uncertain about how or whether to proceed with the murderous impulses that have arisen in him after hearing the witches prophecy. Though he ambitiously hopes to control the throne of Scotland, he also carefully watches these desires and seeks to hide them from others. Saying, “Stars, hide your fires” shows that Macbeth wishes to remain invisible and in complete darkness, such that his “black and deep desires” could not be observed. Metaphors of light and dark pervade this play, and here their meaning remains unclear: Darkness stands for Macbeth’s moral unscrupulousness, but “light” is not quite the inverse of ethical goodness. ![]() Rather, “light” is represented as an active agent that can “see” into those desires; it stands for a supernatural or even holy force that scrutinizes man’s actions. His concern is less that other human beings will spy his desires and more that it will be observed by supernatural forces—a point that confirms his allegiance to the witches’ paranormal tendencies. Within this short image then, we have the underpinnings of Macbeth’s striking guilt complex and the implication of a corresponding spiritual system, though the exact nature of that spirituality remains unclear.

Anon comes in a fellow, takes off his crown, kisses it, and pours poison in the King's ears, and exit. The Queen returns; finds the King dead, and makes passionate action.
