"Fair is foul, and foul is fair:Hover through the fog and filthy air."Who is speaking? Why is this significant and thematic?

The three witches

They are introducing the main theme of the play, that things are not as they seem; they can be the opposite of what they seem. Things can exist in duality, with an appearance that is far from the reality.

First Witch

She is upset because a woman would not share her chestnuts with her. So she is going to get revenge by sailing to Syria to harm her husband.

Second witch

It shows to what great lengths these witches will go just to harm others, even for trivial reasons like this. This also explains why they will trick Macbeth and destroy him.

Third witch

They reveal that the witches are putting a curse on Macbeth. This may be the reason that he begins to act the way he does; however, he may just be overly ambitious, without the curse having been put on him.
