But the witches have misled him, as witches tend to do. The third witch didn't even want to be a weird sister, he got in through clearing. From the Porter's japes to Lady Macbeth's girlbossing, this play will take you to the pits of hell and back again. Make sure to wash your hands - a little water clears us of this deed.
