The Weird Sisters, from William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, are arguably the most famous trio of witches in English literature. Shakespeare’s Weird Sisters are a complex trinitarian mythological construction – a unique amalgamation of classical, folkloric, and socio-political elements. This book is an archetypal exploration of the Weird Sisters; by examining this feminine trio through the lens of mythology, new insights about their significance may be understood. The ramifications extend from classical comprehension to twenty-first century pop culture observations related to female trios.

R. Freedman
5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating take on the witches in the Scottish play
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2008
WE THREE is more than a scholarly dissertation, it's an accessible and wonderfully wrought exploration of the lives of women in Shakespeare's day, and the legacy of the witches we think we know (but don't, until now). Dr. Shamas brings the Weird Sisters to life in a thoughtful and provocative way. I couldn't put it down.
