In the play "Macbeth," there were many interesting sections which
|
|
could be concentrated on due to the suspense and the involvement of the
|
|
supernatural. The use of the supernatural in the witches, the visions, the
|
|
ghost, and the apparitions is a key element in making the concept of the
|
|
play work and in making the play interesting. Looking through each Act and
|
|
Scene of the play, it is noticed that the supernatural is definitely a
|
|
major factor on the play's style.
|
|
|
|
The use of the supernatural occurs at the beginning of the play, with
|
|
three witches predicting the fate of Macbeth. This gives the audience a
|
|
clue to what the future holds for Macbeth. "When the battles lost and won"
|
|
(Act I, Scene I, l.4) was said by the second witch. It says that every
|
|
battle is lost by one side and won by another. Macbeth's fate is that he
|
|
will win the battle, but will lose his time of victory for the battle of
|
|
his soul.
|
|
|
|
After the prophecies of the witches' revealed the fate of Macbeth, the
|
|
plan in which to gain power of the throne is brought up. The only way to
|
|
gain power of the throne was for Macbeth to work his way to the throne, or
|
|
to murder King Duncan. Murdering the king was an easier plan since the
|
|
motivation in his dreams urged him on. Lady Macbeth also relied on the
|
|
supernatural by her soliloquy of calling upon the evil spirits to give her
|
|
the power to plot the murder of Duncan without any remorse or conscience
|
|
(Act I, Scene V, ll.42-57). The three sisters are capable of leading
|
|
people into danger resulting in death, such as the sailor who never slept
|
|
(Act I, Scene III, ll.1-37).
|
|
|
|
Lady Macbeth has convinced her husband Macbeth to murder King Duncan.
|
|
On the night they planned to kill Duncan, Macbeth is waiting for Lady
|
|
Macbeth to ring the signal bell to go up the stairs to Duncan's chamber. He
|
|
sees the vision of the floating dagger. The interest of the dagger is that
|
|
it leads Macbeth towards the chamber by the presence of evil of the dagger
|
|
being covered with blood. Then the bell rings and Macbeth stealthily
|
|
proceeds up the staircase to Duncan's chamber.
|
|
|
|
Once the murder has been committed, eventually Banquo has his
|
|
suspicions about Macbeth killing Duncan to have power of the throne. There
|
|
is constantly more guilt and fear inside Macbeth and his wife that they
|
|
decide to have Banquo killed. Macbeth and his wife attend a banquet in
|
|
which a ghost appears. Once the murderer notified Macbeth that the deed
|
|
was done, he observed the ghost of Banquo sitting in his regular seat.
|
|
This caused Macbeth to act in a wild manner, making people suspicious of
|
|
his actions. (Act III, Scene VI, ll.31-120).
|
|
|
|
The use of the supernatural has increased the suspense now that
|
|
Macbeth is constantly relying on the prophecies of the three witches.
|
|
Hecate, the Queen of witches is angry with the three sisters for not
|
|
involving her in their encounters with Macbeth. The witches plan to lead
|
|
Macbeth to his downfall by making him feel over-confident. (Act III, Scene
|
|
V, ll.1-35).
|
|
|
|
Further on in the play, Macbeth finds his way to the witches' cave and
|
|
demands to know what lies ahead for him. The three witches predict what he
|
|
is going to ask and produce the first apparition which is an armed head.
|
|
"Macbeth!, Macbeth!, Macbeth!, beware of Macduff; beware thane of Fife.
|
|
Dismiss me: enough." (Act VI, Scene I, ll.77-78). The first apparition
|
|
tells Macbeth to beware of Macduff. Then the second apparition appears (a
|
|
bloody child), and says: "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the
|
|
power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth." (Act IV, Scene I,
|
|
ll.85-87). This apparition informs Macbeth that no man born from a woman
|
|
can harm him. Finally, the last apparition appears and is a child crowned,
|
|
with a tree in his hand. The apparition is saying that he will never be
|
|
defeated until Great Birnam wood shall come against him to High Dunsinane
|
|
Hill. "Be lion melted, proud, and take no care who chafes, who frets, or
|
|
where conspirers are: Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam
|
|
wood to High Dunsinane Hill shall come against him." (Act VI, Scene I,
|
|
ll.98-102). These apparitions convinced Macbeth that this was his fate and
|
|
became over confident, and lead him to his death.
|
|
|
|
The use of the supernatural in Macbeth results quite well with the
|
|
respect of the unknown. Without the witches, the ghost, the visions, and
|
|
the apparitions, "Macbeth" would have been a dull and tiresome play. Even
|
|
today's readers need motivation to read, and this ancient superstition of
|
|
spirits enhanced the play dramatically.
