Double, double, toil and trouble.

If I were the fourth witch, I'd put this into the potion:

A gooey booger and a bloody lip,
with moldy skin and a grandma's hip.
Ramasco's waste and a pile of poop,
with my neighbors dead dog and toenail clippings soup.
A box of fingers and a hairy monkey,
with 50 teeth and a grandpa that's chunky.
A case of B.O and a rotten plumb,
with a dirty diaper and a little kid's thumb.

Act III - Story Time

In the play Macbeth, a lot of bad things happen. The main character, Macbeth is turning into a mean person. It's not that he wants to become someone bad, it just seems like the crazy things are taking him over. His wife, Lady Macbeth, is very mean and pretends to be friends with someone just to use them for something she wants. Like say you're coloring a picture of the rainbow, and you need the Red to make the first line. As soon as your finished using the Red, and you don't need it anymore, you just put it back from where you got it. That's like with Lady Macbeth with people though, which is very bad. So, when these three Frankensteins come and talk to Macbeth and his friend Banquo, they tell them that they can see into the future. Frankensteins tells them that they both will become Kings! But that will only happen when King Duncan, the man who is King now, stops being King. When Macbeth tells his wife what the Frankensteins told him. When she hears this, she gets very excited. She wants Macbeth to become a King as fast as he can, so that she can become special too. But since Lady Macbeth is a mean person, she decides to try to get King Duncan to not be King anymore. A lot of things happen, and Lady Macbeth finally gets King Duncan to not be King anymore. She does this by hiding him in a very dark closet for the rest of his life, not being able to come out. Macbeth feels really bad for King Duncan, but Lady Macbeth's meanness makes Macbeth forget about it.

Act II: Gorgon Reference

When Macduff says, "Approach the chamber and destroy your sight/ With a new Gorgon.." he's relating to Greek mythology. The Gorgons are three sisters, who were very beautiful. Medusa, one of the sisters was the youngest and the most beautiful out of the three. She was turned into a monster with snakes as her hair, fangs, claws, and a black tongue. 
He said that 'With a new Gorgon' .. because Medusa was so horrible looking that everyone who looked at her, turned to stone. He meant that go into the bedroom to see what happened, and you'll freeze with horror to see what is there.
