Cauldron Bubble

 In act four the witches are waiting for Macbeth and they are putting all of this gross stuff into a cauldron. They put a toad, snake, a newt's eye, frog's tongue, fur from a bat, a dog's tongue, the forked tongue of an adder, the stinger of a burrowing worm, a lizard's leg, an owl's wing, scale of a dragon, a wolf's tooth, a witch's mummified flesh, the gullet and stomach of a ravenous shark, a root of hemlock, a jew's liver, a goat's bile, twigs, a turk's nose, a tartar's lips, the finger of a baby that was strangled as a prostitute gave birth to it in a ditch. To cool the mixture that add a baboon's blood. The second witch says "for a charm of powerful trouble,/ Like a hell-broth boil and bubble." What she is saying is that she wants it to cause powerful trouble. I think that mixture of ingredients is so disgusting. It kind of reminds me of menudo because I think menudo is a disgusting mixture of soup. Macbeth is stupid for believing everything the witches tell him. They have already caused him so much guilt and he still goes to them for advice and to answer his questions. Everything that the witches are doing is because Hecate told them to. Hecate arranged for Macbeth to meet the witches to learn his destiny and Hecate will create illusions to trick Macbeth.
