Storyboard Text
Act IV Scene i Line 1-2
Double, double, toil, and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Act II Scene iii Line 1-2
If a man were porter to hell gate, he should have old turning the key.
The witches are using repetition, rhyme, alliteration and short sentences. This chanting emulates spell casting and the distinction from iambic pentameter makes them seem otherworldly and mysterious.
Comic Relief Scene: This scene is both foreshadowing and comic relief. It foreshadows all of the evil that is about to take place and how Macbeth's life may lead him to hell. It also adds relief to the tense previous scene. Finally it's dramatic irony since the castle is like hell, adding to the supernatural.
