The importance of soliloquies, and how they work (hold off on this)
"When shall we three meet again?" In Act 1 Scene 1 of Macbeth when the witches first meet we are introduced to many important aspects of the play. In particular it is an excellent example of the use of nature imagery and the supernatural. "In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" The witches are supernatural creatures who will drive Macbeth to do terrible things. They reference terrible natural weather to decide when they will meet with Macbeth. The nature imagery here enhances the power of the idea that things are and will be unsettled because of the bad weather. "When the hurly-burly’s done, When the battle’s lost and won."
