In act 3 scene 5 the reader meets Hecate it is unclear what Hecate is saying because her dialogue doesn't connect with the plot of the play. This scene doesn't move the play forward which question Scholars if Shakespeare wrote this scene. This scene only serves a purpose to have a dancing routine in the play to re interest the audience into the play just like comedic part of Macbeth.
If Shakespeare wrote this scene it would connect with the plot more and would have more internal action and a soliloquy. The goddess Hecate sees that the three have given prophecies to Macbeth. Shakespeare foreshadows another downfall of Macbeth. "How did you dare trade riddles and traffic with Macbeth in riddles and Affairs of death; and I, the mistress of your charms, the close contriver of all harms, was never called to bear my part?"This scene helps the audience to know that there will be a fatal end for Macbeth.
