Wyrd Sisters	comment	The sixth novel in Terry Pratchettâ€™s Discworld series and the first to feature the three witches (Granny Weatherwax appeared earlier in Equal Rites). Largely a homage to/parody of Macbeth and William Shakespeare in general, and early modern theater practices in even-more-general.King Verence of Lancre is murdered by his scheming cousin Leonal Felmet at the insistence of Felmet's ambitious and domineering wife. While Death informs Verence that he's due to become a ghost, a soldier loyal to the old king manages to get Verence's infant son and the royal crown of Lancre into the hands of a trio of witches: Magrat Garlick, a naive and romantic young Granola Girl; Gytha "Nanny" Ogg, a likeable and sociable matriarch who's smarter than she lets on; and Esmeralda "Granny" Weatherwax, the stern, sinister, but ultimately benevolent witch among witches.After some debate, the trio leave the child (given the name "Tomjon") and the crown (secretly snuck into a box of prop crowns) in the care of a band of traveling players (who come complete with a Shakespeare analogue in the form of Hwel the dwarf).As time passes, Felmet's rule stirs a growing amount of unrest in the kingdom, but Granny adamantly refuses to "meddle" in things... until a paranoid Felmet sets his sights on eliminating the perceived threat of Lancre's population of witches.Preceded by Sourcery, followed by Pyramids. Preceded in the Witches series by Equal Rites, followed by Witches Abroad.

However it doesn't say they have to stay there, and everyone is fine with them popping back in after sunset to go down the pub.

The troupe know that if you meet a mysterious old woman in the road you have to share your lunch or help her across the river, or bad fortune will attend you. There aren't any rivers handy, and Granny and Magrat both turn up their noses at the troupe's humble lunch, but Nanny Ogg shamelessly mooches food, drink, a smoke, and a lift into town.

Naturally, this subdues somewhat after he's freed from the vices of the flesh. This is also the exact thing that allowed him to remain fully aware as a ghost, where so many others became almost mindless after death.

Fortunately, an alternative heir is found when Magrat realizes he has a half-brother, who turns out to be the court jester. In a further subversion, Magrat later discovers that the half-blood was not because the king disported with the jester's wife; it was because while the king was out disporting himself with the peasants, the queen got lonely.

Played with, too: When Nanny Ogg brings a pebble from the castle home so that she can talk to Verence's ghost (who is bound to the castle), all the other ghosts wanted a change of scenery, too. The castle suddenly becomes nice and quiet, while Nanny's cottage is packed with ghosts, including a screaming lady in a chariot zooming through the wash room and the analogues to the Princes in the Tower toddling around in her hall.

Or at the end, when Granny's attempt to show Lady Felmet how evil she is fails, so Nanny Ogg just brains her with a cauldron.

Made sadder to the Fools, and funnier to the readers, by the fact that the Assassins' Guild school is next door. And the Fools actually envy the Assassins. Even though there are fewer of them at the end of the year. Slight case of weird synchronicity here. Verence The Fool is voiced in the adaptation by Les Dennis, a well-known British comedian of the old school whose early career was touched by tragedy (the death of his partner, Dustin Gee), and whose personal life imploded quite catastrophically in public. It says a lot for his strength of character that despite this, for him the show goes on.

Absolutely everyone in the kingdom knows they're pulling this, but in Lancre they actually do consider assassination to count as natural causes for a king so they don't care. The ones that do protest find out that falling onto one's own dagger can be contagious.

Wyrd Sisters / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Wyrd Sisters / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Granny, while much evolved from her initial appearance in Equal Rites, is still a far cry from the indomitable and unshakeable Iron Lady seen in later books. Additionally, as the Discworld was still more of a standard fantasy setting at this stage, especially Ankh-Morpork, the Fools Guild is a training school for classic Court Jesters rather than the school for modern circus clowns it becomes from Men at Arms on. Also, this is the only time Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg have a proper fight — in later books, it's mostly restricted to bickering, and Nanny is usually the peacemaker who knows how to work her way around Esme Weatherwax without being confrontational and Granny usually fights with the younger witches such as Magrat and Agnes. Lancre is also portrayed as having a functional, if small, military and palace staff, instead of it consisting almost entirely of Shawn Ogg.

It isn't; they've been hired to do a propaganda piece that says Verence was a tyrant whose death was an accident. The witches then alter the play to do this themselves. Rather than feeling guilty, the Duke finally loses all connection to reality, but this still leads to a confession of sorts, so it's a result.

This actually causes rather less disruption than you would expect, as Lancre is quite isolated and timekeeping in the various locations around the Disc isn't exactly a precise art. And, as Thief Of Time reveals, the timeline itself is basically held together with spit and good intentions. One wonders if the History Monks had to fix up these events in any capacity, or if they even noticed.note More likely they were grateful, as running low on time is their more common problem and they can always find a use for a spare 15 years.

Wyrd Sisters / int_903f65bf	comment	The Hat Makes the Man: The crown has absorbed the personalities of its past wearers, and when Granny tries it on out of curiosity she has a disturbing urge to start swanning around and chopping people's heads off. (The new king seems to be immune to the effect, though, judging by the sequels. Maybe you need to be magically sensitive, or maybe his personality's just so different that the crown has nothing to latch on to.)

Felmet later also says that Granny could strike him down and find someone to replace him with "but he would have to be a fool indeed". The twist to the twist may also be alluded to, if you allow that the ghost's subplot adds elements of Hamlet-parody to the book. Felmet tells the Fool "I am not thy nuncle"... which is true, because the Fool isn't Verence I's son after all. Granted, Felmet was Verence I's cousin rather than his brother, but his usurping counterpart in Hamlet is the prince's uncle. A more subtle bit of foreshadowing for the same twist occurs in the animated version, where Verence the Fool and Tomjon do resemble each other, King Verence looks next to nothing like the Fool. Indicating that if the Fool and Tomjon share a parent, it's not the king.

The many ghosts haunting Lancre Castle are bound to the very stones of the castle and cannot leave it. Nanny Ogg gets the idea that if she takes a tiny piece of the castle along with her, maybe the king's ghost can follow in that. It works, though the other ghosts of the castle overheard this plan and stuffed themselves in there as well.

Wyrd Sisters / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The twins in the corridor are a reference to the Princes in the Tower, (allegedly) murdered by Richard III. (Not, as some readers seem to think, to The Shining.) What Magrat says to a guard she's holding at knife-point bears more than a passing resemblance to something a certain Mr. Callahan would say: Much of what comes out of Hwel's brain qualifies, from Charlie Chaplin, to Laurel and Hardy, to The Marx Brothers and even Patton. On the other hand, Tomjon's declamations from Hwel's plays sound entirely faithful to Shakespeare, even as the rest of the novel satirizes the Bard's works. In Tomjon's performances, there are clear references to Romeo and Juliet and Falstaff. "Greebo's grin gradually faded, until there was nothing left but the cat. This was nearly as spooky as the opposite way around." Black Aliss was known for putting a castle to sleep for 100 years and living in a house made of gingerbread. A castle is said to have been built by "an architect who had heard about Gormenghast but hadn't got the budget." Apparently, witches tend to disguise themselves as apple-sellers, referencing Snow-White. While possibly a coincidence, Tomjon's name neatly inverts that of another magically-gifted performer who'd featured in one of the few other comic-fantasy series then being published. Further Shakespeare references come fast and thick: Fools are supposed to stay loyal to their king unto death, no matter what madness may ensue in the meantime. The Fool first sees Magrat in a meadow, talking to herself and picking up flowers and listing their meanings. But the meaning she's listing are actually medical, and not very pretty... The Fool asks Magrat: "Iâ€™d like to know if I could compare you to a summerâ€™s day. Because â€” well, June 12th was quite nice..." This is a reference to Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18, which starts with: "Shall I compare thee to a summerâ€™s day?" And the plot itself, from murder to madness to meddling witches, is a Whole-Plot Reference to The Scottish Play.

When the portents stop happening, that's when people get worried... When the Fool ends up with Greebo sitting on his head, all witnesses assume that this is just something one does when you're a professional jester.

Wyrd Sisters / int_dbca2c99	comment	Red Herring: Felmet's hatred of trees, which even he doesn't seem to understand. This would appear to be setting up a reference to Macbeth's Dunsinane Forest moving, or possibly a Green Aesop, but never pans out. It's implied that he hates the trees because they're fortunate enough not to have a concept of marriage. It's also implied that the trees do exact their revenge (indirectly), by subtly channeling Lady Felmet into a clearing full of large animals (full of the kingdom's wrath), then cutting off her escape so that said animals can maul her to death. Played with, but Death tells the king that only the close relatives and the psychically inclined could see or sense him. The fact that the Fool can looks like a hint of him being actually his son but the double twist in the end proves he was just a little psychically inclined.

Wyrd Sisters / int_dc115332	comment	Scrubbing Off the Trauma: It is a Macbeth parody but with the other spouse. The Pratchett twist manages to be both darkly funny and rather deeply disturbing. Duke Felmet's attempts to remove the metaphorical blood of King Verence, who he murdered, off his hands get more and more outrageous: First it involves scrubbing too hard, then using sandpaper, then a wire brush, then a cheesegrater. By the climax, it's said to be not quite a hand any more.

Wyrd Sisters / int_dd3d1f69	comment	Wicked Witch: Granny is closest to fitting the image of the Wicked Witch, as she wears all black and is thin with a long nose, and frequently very harsh on people. She even laments how her good health has kept her from developing other stereotypical characteristics such as warts, a hunchback or poor teeth. She's Good Is Not Nice incarnate, but being thought of as wicked witches by the Duke and eventually other people is one of the problems the witches run into. Also, Black Aliss most definitely was a Wicked Witch.

Wyrd Sisters / int_ddc6244b	comment	Emergency Refuelling: The completion of a very big magical spell involves a witch flying around the borders of the country of Lancre in a single night to delineate the area (the whole country) in which the spell will take effect. The problem is, there is no way a single broomstick can carry enough magic to do such a long flight in one go. After some creative thought, Granny Weatherwax stations the two other Witches of her depleted coven at strategic points. She links up with both, and they transfer the magic from their broomsticks to hers - effectively, as the book notes, the first ever attempt at in-flight refuelling of a broomstick.

Guards!, but the concept behind his character is first described here, when it's noted that men selling sausages in buns seem to magically appear to accompany a spontaneous crowd, and the narration suggests that they can do this because their carts include a small gas-powered time machine. In the Animated Adaptation, Dibbler himself (or possibly his Lancrastian equivalent) actually does make a cameo appearance in this scene: Chrysophrase the Troll is name-dropped for the second time in the Discworld continuity. In the Animated Adaptation, he appears on-screen for a few scenes to personally threaten... errr, negotiate with Vitoller about paying back the money he borrowed.

The Animated Adaptation really sells it, and makes each witch a different kind of bad actor: Granny speaks in a stilted way and slips in and out of character depending on how annoyed she gets. Magrat stumbles over her lines, speaks in monotone and over-uses the word "lawks." Nanny doesn't even try to be a convincing wood-gatherer; she just comes walking out of the bushes carrying a single twig that she casually throws away.

Wyrd Sisters / int_f74022ea	comment	Magic Cauldron: These inevitably feature due to its parallels with Macbeth, but because it's Discworld, it's not played straight. For example, when they need to summon a demon to extract some answers, the older witches reject Magrat's suggestion that a cauldron is necessary and decide that the big copper pot from Nanny Ogg's washhouse is good enough. As far as they're concerned, the traditional cauldron is just a symbol, not a requirement. Later, Nanny Ogg uses a prop cauldron as part of a Mundane Solution by knocking the Duchess on the head with it. The opening scene has the witches gathered around a bubbling cauldron. It is filled with perfectly ordinary water, which they use to make tea.

Since Granny's spell had to be completed before the first rooster crowed, Nanny compensated by stationing her minions by every single rooster in the kingdom to make sure they shut up. Fortunately, it's a small kingdom. Also subverted when the demon they summon is completely unable to weasel out of answering their questions because Granny stuck with something like, "What the hell's going on?" Well, and because Granny Weatherwax is scary. (Well, she was happy to play along with the first two questions, but by the third she had run out of patience.)
