They have a steaming cauldron on a fire and they are cooking their ingredients, chanting as they do so: Round about the cauldron go īoil thou first i’ the charmed pot. They know he’s coming and Shakespeare gives us a wonderful scene as they prepare a potion for him to drink. When Macbeth is at his wits end, sleepless with guilt, hated by everyone, his marriage broken, he goes to find the witches to try and find out how it’s going to end for him. Add to that things like the alliteration of, in this instance, the ‘d’ and ‘t’ sounds, and you get the message Shakespeare is sending. Whereas the iambic pentameter is flexible and imitates everyday speech, rhyming couplets are artificial, and nothing like everyday speech. The way Shakespeare does that is to abandon his usual blank verse iambic pentameter and make the witches speak in rhyming couplets, which produces a weird, mesmeric effect, hence the unreal quality of the lines, ‘double double, toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble’. It is almost as though they are talking a different language. Shakespeare distinguishes them from the other characters by making them speak in a distinctive way, different from the way that human beings in the play, and in all his other plays, speak. They are not real characters, and, indeed, they can be seen simply as the voice of temptation in the mind of Macbeth. It is among the most quoted lines from Shakespeare, mainly because of its sing-song rhythm and its rhyming. ‘ Double double toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble‘ is a rhyming couplet from Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, chanted by the supernatural three witches.
