Specifically in Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth runs to find the witches once again because of his paranoia, he finds them in the middle of brewing up a bizarre potion to abruptly ask “What is ‘t you do?” The 3 witches then call up their 1st boss to answer that himself, but as Macbeth is in the middle of asking, he is interrupted because he already can read his thought? Is that the power of the witches under their bosses? Why is Macbeth seriously just trusting these evil fortune tellers about his power-hungry quenches. A floating head that can read minds, a bloody child, and a kid with a crown, gives Macbeth the shock of the story. All 3 of the warnings literally come back to bite Macbeth in the ass anyway but its extreme how if it wasn't for this, I wonder how much more chaos they could have done if they has their way...
The power they seriously have in this story is undermined to just indirectly just turn a good guy insane and evil and for him to be killed and Scotland united again. Like, what did the witches and the Apparitions accomplish? Nothing, except to keep their motto: “Foul is fair, and foul is fair.”
(I am not including the 4th Apparition, The 8th King, because it technically isn't a warning for the story, it references a future that creates a bigger plot hole/problem to tackle later)
