The Wyrd Sisters tell Macbeth that he one day be King of Scotland, and "Thane of Cawdor", which stuns him because he previously had no such ambitions. Macbeth and his friend Banquo win the battle for Duncan, and then shortly afterwards, they meet the Wyrd Sisters, who Macbeth is strangely drawn to. The Wyrd Sisters make a dramatic and frightening entrance in the opening of Macbeth where they talk about their prophecy concerning Macbeth, a general in King Duncan's army, and their desire to make his coronation possible. The Wyrd Sisters like toying with humans and they see humanity as just useful tools that they can manipulate. The Witches seek to overthrow the kingdom of Scotland and they use dark magic for their nefarious deeds.
