The king honors Macbeth with the title of the traitor, Macbeth doesn't know about this yet.In a deserted place after the battle the witches meet Macbeth as they planned before hand. Banquo, who is with him, addresses the witches with evil eyes. Macbeth more interested doesn't say a lot. Ready to listen the witches greet him Thane of Glamis and give the prophecies that Macbeth will be the Thane Of Cawdor and the future King.
