Answer 1

Answer:

Hello mate

Explanation:

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes (IV. i. ... In modern English, this line simply means that the witch knows something bad is coming because there is a tingling sensation in her thumbs.

Answer 2

When the second witch says this, she means that she has a feeling that something bad is coming. The "pricking" is like a sensation in her fingers. The "Something wicked" is literally Macbeth, who enters the scene immediately after the second witch speaks. It is interesting (and maybe ironic) that the witches think of Macbeth as wicked, as we normally would associate witches with evil. By this point in the play, though, Macbeth has committed heinous acts of murder and betrayal, and he will do whatever it takes to keep his crown. Macbeth has become truly wicked, as the second witch says.
