| Abstract: |
The supernatural beings in the form of the three witches play a key role in the Shakespearean tragedy-Macbeth. It is the bizarre choice of linguistic elements in their utterances which are essentially in the form of couplets that brings out the curiosity among the mortal beings in the play. Their power of language is such that can motivate the participants in the conversation to adopt means which can lead to their gradual downfall with a momentary period of being in absolute power. The problem lies in interpreting the reason as to whether the witches play with words to deceive the humans or they are in fact foretellers. Their speech is dominated by ambiguities, paradoxes, vagueness and enticement which keeps the addressee confused and greedy for power. In this paper, an attempt has been made to critically analyse the conversations of the witches in the play to understand the linguistic features that characterise their speech and leave an everlasting impression on the interlocutors.
