The atmosphere that is established in this first scene is dark and ominous. They manage to get the audience attached and interested to what is to come.

Every time the witches appear throughout the story, Shakespeare tries to create a very intense and different mood from the other scenes by using thunder as the weather. Thunder could be a representation of the dark mood that would be cast in the near future on Macbeth. In scene i, Act I of the book Macbeth, the established atmosphere is very dark, and is to a certain way overshadowing the darkness that would appear later in the story, and is a prologue to all the dark events.
When the witches appear, it sets a very scary and different mood. Throughout the book, whenever something bad happens, it will rain or the weather will change drastically betcause it shows the witches "control" when things are going to happen. The darkness appears when something will happen.
Amy- The atmosphere that is established in this scene is mysterious and every time the witches appear the weather is affected also.
not only in Macbeth like you mentioned Sachi, that whenever the witches appear the weather goes bold and dark, if we think on the past stories, well on most stories whenever witches appear the setting of the story goes dark and the weather changes to a more thunder way causing more impact and attention, as Markus mentioned....
Ahh, Miss Hogshead, you should have left Sachi's post on Hamlet, just to have a laugh. (Sorry, I just had to say that)
I believe the mischievouness of the first scene has another purpose than from catching the audience's attention. It sets the mood for the whole play. There is never an expression of glee. It is all suffering and terrible fates.
