Three crone-like, supernatural hags who have the power to predict and decide the outcome of every conflict – this description may be attributed to the three witches in Macbeth, but it also applies to the Moirai: the three Fates of Greek mythology.

In 1606, when Shakespeare completed Macbeth, women’s opinions and advice were taken seriously, and satirical writing about how frivolous women were was common in the writing of the time, even in Shakespeare’s other play.
