Macbeth comes. (ACT 4, scene 1, line 48)
The complete, original sentence was 'By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes'. It was stated by one of the witches in Act 4 Scene 1 of the play 'Macbeth'… by William Shakespeare [baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616].
"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes" Why is Macbeth wicked? He has not only killed his king, but he has also arranged for the murder of his friend for no clear reason. That's pretty wicked.
The line "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes" is from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It is spoken by one of the witches as Macbeth approaches.
This is from the lines of the second witch in Act IV, scene one of Macbeth.
The witches say, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." In many depictions of witchcraft, blood must be spilled in order to activate a spell. Magic users in fiction will often prick their fingers in order to draw blood for a sacred ritual. The witches in Macbeth are planning a great mischief, and they draw "something wicked" to them through their spells, hence the pricking of their fingers. Macbeth himself becomes this "something wicked."
This line is delivered by the second witch in Act 4, scene 1 of MacBeth. "By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. Open, locks, Whoever knocks". The witches are calling MacBeth wicked because he has already murdered king Duncan.
