Repeating Motif of 3 in Macbeth
Anyone notice this repeating motif of 3 in Macbeth or is it merely a coincidence?
3 Murders,
Happens in Act 3, scene 3.
3 Witches.
3 Main Prophesies (Macbeth granted with: Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdow, and King).
3 Main Victims (Duncan, Banquo, Lady Macduff).
3 Hallucinations (Floating dagger, voice hes murdering sleep, Banquo’s ghost)
Can anyone else think of 3 motifs?
