Answer:

Shakespeare opens with the witches in order to foreshadow what occurs later in the play.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though you don't learn much, the opening witch scene helps to predict the eventual outcome of the play, a tactic frequently used by Shakespeare. Shakespeare uses foreshadowing very often in his plays.
