They are saying that the day will be good and bad and the events that are going to happen are going to be good and bad.
The start of their plan put to into practice in act 1 scene 3. They are discussing past spells to scare the audience even more because the spells have evil ingredients. After discussing spells they predict that Macbeth is coming over the moor and prepare themselves. Macbeth says to Banquo,.
"So foul and fair day I have not seen".
Macbeth is trying to say that the weather is foul but because the Scottish had won the battle it was a good day. The real fascinating about this was this quote is that the witches had already said it. This suggests that the witches have power over Macbeth. When Macbeth and Banquo first see the witches, Banquo comments on their appearance,.
"So withered and so wild in their attire".
This alliteration comments on their torn clothing and their haggish looks. Then Banquo goes on to say,.
"Upon her skinny lips: you should be women;.
And yet your beards forbid me to interpret.
That you are so".
This shows ambiguity because Banquo can't decide if the witches are men or women, which gives them more mystery. Macbeth then commands the witches to speak if they can. They draw Macbeth in very fast because they tell him he's Thane of Glamis, which he already knows. Then they tell him that he is going to be Thane of Cawdor then the king of Scotland. Macbeth is drawn in and is frightened and surprised. Banquo on the other hand is not drawn in at all ands jokily asks them to tell him his future. When they tell him that his children will be kings he is non-believing and laughs about it. Macbeth straight away sees Banquo as a threat and seeks to know more from the witches, but they disappear, leaving Macbeth in shock and Banquo in disbelief. Macbeth and Banquo speak briefly about the witches before two messengers called Ross and Angus comes to Macbeth to tell him that the king is very happy with his success and that he has given him the Thane of Cawdor.
