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

witches' revealed the fate of Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth has convinced her husband

proceeds up the staircase to Duncan's chamber. Once the murder has been

have power of the throne. There is constantly more guilt and fear inside Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth

a banquet in which a ghost appears. Once the murderer notified Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth that the
deed was done, he observed the ghost of Banquo sitting in his regular seat. This
caused Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth. The witches plan to lead Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth
to his downfall by making him feel over-confident. (Act III, Scene V, ll.1-35).
Further on in the play, Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth!, Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth!,
Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth!, beware of Macduff; beware thane of Fife. Dismiss me: enough. (Act VI,
Scene I, ll.77-78). The first apparition tells Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth. (Act IV, Scene I, ll.85-87). This apparition informs Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In 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 - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth that this was his fate and
became over confident, and lead him to his death. The use of the supernatural in
Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In Macbeth results quite well with the respect of the unknown. Without the witches,
the ghost, the visions, and the apparitions, Macbeth - Supernatural Forces In 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.
