Round 3: Tossup 10
The song “Come away, come away” was written for a play titled for one of these people by Thomas Middleton, who may have written a scene from another play in which these people are scolded by a goddess. A group of these people summon an armed head, a bloody child, and a crowned child holding a tree for the viewing of the title character. That group of these people call a play’s title character (*) Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and “king hereafter” in a prophecy, leading him to kill Duncan. For 10 points, the Weird Sisters in Macbeth, who chant “Double, double toil and trouble” while standing around a cauldron, are what kind of person? ■END■
ANSWER: witches [prompt on sorcerers; prompt on women or females or equivalents; prompt on Weird Sisters before “Weird Sisters” is read] (The goddess is Hecate.)
