00:00:06 - Two friends, Banco and Macbeth, rode their retired horses slowly through the countryside to the countryside, each man dreaming of home, wine and a warm fire.
00:00:23 - As they arrived in the forest, they noticed three old witches suddenly appear visible against the stormy sky.
00:00:32 - Silently, the witches pointed their fingers towards Banquo and Macbeth and gestured for them to stop.
00:00:42 - Who on earth are these strange creatures as asked Banquo curiously as he stopped his horse?
00:00:52 - They don't look like they belong on this earth, but they're standing on it.
00:00:58 - Let's see what they want.
00:01:01 - Macbeth replied.
00:01:04 - Hello there, cold Banquo.
00:01:07 - Are you real woman?
00:01:09 - Who are you and what do you want?
00:01:11 - The three witches ignored Banquo and approached Macbeth instead.
00:01:17 - All three bowed to him.
00:01:18 - Hail Macbeth, hail to you, Lord of Glamis!
00:01:24 - Exclaimed the first witch as she bowed to him.
00:01:30 - Hail Macbeth, hail to you, Lord of Corder!
00:01:34 - Cry the second in a strange tone.
00:01:37 - Macbeth looked at Banquo.
00:01:40 - How strange! he whispered. Everybody knows I'm the Lord of Glamis because I live in Glamis.
00:01:47 - But why is she calling me Lord of Codor before Banquo had a chance to reply that her witch was close to Macbeth, bowed respectfully and then looked into his face with a horrible smile. Hail Macbeth, Lord of Glamis and Codor!
00:02:06 - She whispered into his ear, soon you will also be king of Scotland.
00:02:14 - She smiled at the confusion.
00:02:16 - She saw him on his face, and then she asked Banco, Banco's children will be kings, but you Macbeth won't have any.
00:02:34 - Macbeth stared at her for a moment and then looked away.
00:02:39 - He felt a shock, like a flashlining run through his body.
00:02:46 - Banquo saw the electric effect the witches had on his friends.
00:02:52 - Macbeth, Macbeth, why did you jump so violently?
00:02:57 - When those strange old women spoke to you, he cried.
00:03:01 - Their words are foolish.
00:03:04 - They don't mean anything.
00:03:07 - Why do you care what they say?
00:03:09 - Macbeth didn't answer.
00:03:12 - He stood motionless, staring at the witches like a person in a trance.
00:03:18 - Hail, hail, Macbeth, king of Scotland.
00:03:22 - They cried once more before disappearing into the darkness of the forex, of the forest.
of the forest.00:03:31 - Stay, stay, cry, Macbeth, passionately.
00:03:39 - Where have you gone?
00:03:41 - You strange creatures.
00:03:44 - I don't understand why did you call me Lord of Codor and what did you mean by calling me King?
00:03:52 - What are these prophecies?
00:03:54 - He continued in an agitated manner.
00:03:58 - Why will Banco's children be kings?
00:04:02 - Stay and speak to me!
00:04:04 - But there was no reply.
00:04:06 - The witches had disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared, and the forest was empty and silent once more.
00:04:15 - The only sound was the wind blowing through the dead winter leaves.
00:04:22 - Perplexed, Macbeth and Banquo continued on their way towards King's Duncan's palace.
00:04:33 - They rode in silence, deep in thought, then Banquo broke the silence.
00:04:40 - Where did those women go?
00:04:44 - He exclaimed, looking around.
00:04:46 - They seemed to evaporate into the darkness.
00:04:49 - Macbeth didn't reply for a moment and then repeat almost to himself.
00:04:54 - Banquo's children will be kings.
00:04:57 - Banquo's joke, his head and expression of confusion on his face.
00:05:04 - They also say you will be king of Scotland, he exclaimed.
00:05:09 - And lot of cutter too, replied Macbeth.
00:05:12 - Isn't that what they said?
00:05:14 - What does it mean?
00:05:17 - I don't know, Bank will say. We're good men and we've done nothing wrong.
00:05:23 - Let's forget these strange ideas. They mean nothing.
00:05:29 - Macbeth's head was full of confusing thoughts.
00:05:33 - If I become Lord of Godor, it means the King is promoting me.
00:05:38 - He thought, but then he trembled. So why is my brain full of frightened images and why is my hair so agitated. Macbeth looked up and saw they were approaching the palace. Are the woman's prophecy able or are they good? He thought to himself,
00:06:03 - I moved right to my wife immediately and tell her about these strange events.
maybe she'll understand them better than I.00:06:15 - With that thought, Macbeth entered King's Duncan Palace
00:06:19 - Gates with his friend.
