An interesting thing to note about the famous scene with the witches in Macbeth is that many scholars believe it was inserted into the play at a later date and was not written by Shakespeare. They arrive at this conclusion because the language used and the style of writing doesn’t fit with the rest of the play or with Shakespeare’s writing in general. Just think of the line from the following children’s song: One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong!
