Answer:

Students should recognize that the remark indicates that things are not what they seem and sets the stage for the Macbeths’ disloyalty and other actions that contradict what they pretend to be and what Duncan and others think they are. Students may also feel that the comment underscores the eerie supernatural flavor that runs through the play, owing to the witches’ predictions. Students should cite examples from the play to support their ideas.
