I Need Help With These Questions About Macbeth. Please Help Me. Who Can Help Me? Thanks.
3. Macbeth and Banquo seem more intrigued by the witches than afraid of them: "Stay you imperfect speakers and tell me more!"/ ...I know I am the Thane of Glamis/But how of Cawdor?/...Say from whence you owe this strange intelligence/or why upon this blasted heath you stop our way/With such prophetic greeting?/ Speak, I charge you." The witches then disappear before their very eyes. Why are they not terribly afraid of their encounter with the witches?

This is especially true of Macbeth, and the main reason is that he is very interested in their prediction that he will be king of Scotland. This awakes his ambition, and he is more hopeful that the witches are right than afraid of their powers. He may also hope that they can tell him how to achieve this ambition.
Banquo is more cautious: He also is curious and asks the witches to tell him what they know about him (and like Macbeth, he is a brave man anyway, not easily frightened by the witches or anything else) but after they vanish he warns Macbeth not to trust them as it may all be a trap.
