On Macbeth's second meeting with the witches, they make prophecies and give warnings. What are 3 of the prophecies, and if you can't tell me, can you tell me where to look? I can NOT understand Macbeth at ALL.
Can you tell me lines or page numbers of where to look?
Thanks!

Certainly! In Macbeth, there are three notable prophecies that the witches make to Macbeth during their second meeting. Here's a breakdown of those prophecies and where you can find them:
1. "Beware Macduff, Beware the Thane of Fife": In Act 4, Scene 1, the witches warn Macbeth to be careful of Macduff, who is the Thane of Fife. This prophecy can be found in lines 70-71 of Act 4, Scene 1.
2. "None of woman born Shall harm Macbeth": The witches give Macbeth a false sense of security by telling him that no person born of a woman can harm him. This prophecy can be found in lines 80-81 of Act 4, Scene 1.
3. "Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him": The witches tell Macbeth that he will never be defeated unless the forest of Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. This prophecy can be found in lines 92-94 of Act 4, Scene 1.
To find these lines, you can use an online version of the play where you can search for specific phrases. Websites like Project Gutenberg or websites dedicated to Shakespeare's plays can be helpful for this purpose. Additionally, you could also refer to a physical copy of the play and navigate to the relevant act, scene, and lines mentioned earlier.
If you still have trouble understanding the language or context, I would recommend using online resources or study guides that provide line-by-line and scene-by-scene explanations of Macbeth. Such resources can help you comprehend the prophecies and other aspects of the play more easily.
