On the heath, the witches prophesied that Macbeth would become the Thane of Cawdor and eventually the King of Scotland, while also revealing that Banquo's descendants would inherit the throne, even though he himself would not be king. They hailed Macbeth as "thane of Glamis," "thane of Cawdor," and "king hereafter," while telling Banquo that he would be "lesser than Macbeth, and greater," and that he would father a line of kings. These prophecies ignited Macbeth's ambition and set the tragic events of the play into motion.
