MEET MACBETH.

Through the use of indirect characterization, Macbeth is described as a brutal killer who slices off heads. The witches predict about the fortune of Macbeth and his cousin. They say Macbeth will be a king and his cousin, Banquo's children will be children. The witches prediction pretty much lead us to the ending of the play. Shakespeare uses the witches as an exposition, they help introduce characters that are not formally "introduced" to the story, but the audience is aware. The foreshadowing leads the audience to the conclusion, but how Macbeth gets there isn't revealed, and what happens beyond coming king.
