The Supernatural

Throughout William Shakespeare's Macbeth, many characters evolve and

many disappear into the background. The main character, Macbeth (MB for

short), travels through utter chaos when he proclaims himself monarch.

When he first meets the witches of the supernatural, they tell him of

the future. One of the themes amplified throughout the play is the

circle of life, from the beginning to the end. The visions provided by

the three witches begin Macbeth's quest for dominance. The three main

effects of this theme are: the death of Macbeth's friends and family.

Second, the deaths of his mortal enemies. The last point is the death of

himself. The supernatural amplifies the theme of death.

From the first brief encounter of the witches, to the last nightmarish

visions that Macbeth has, many close friends and relatives have died

because of his visions with the supernatural. The death of his wife in

Act V, Scene IV is the death that sends him over the abyss and into

mental instability. Lady Macbeth is like a joined appendage to Macbeth.

They work as one, communicate as one, and when that appendage is lost,

so is MB's grip with reality. Lady Macbeth was the only person he could

. . .

Throughout this play, many of Macbeth's enemies, and

traitors (Banquo) are killed by Macbeth or his hired assassins.

Throughout all the chaos in the remaining scenes of the play, she is

eventually killed by one of Malcolm's associates. It is Macbeth that decides to go forward with the plans. After

he commits regicide, he realizes that he must kill all the enemies that

oppose him, mainly Malcolm, the king's heir to the throne. Macbeth has a chance to flee at the end, but chooses

not to and is slain in battle. This event

signals the gates of hell to unlatch the door that holds the chaos that

will torment Macbeth to his own death. Although Hitler did not reign on the powers of the

supernatural, he did go completely off the edge after the Allied forces

started to invade Germany. It seems that she wants to be the

most cruelest being in the world. This regicide happens all because

to path to what Macbeth thinks of freedom is open. tural also had another key factor to her

death. In some spots, it looks like Macbeth needs to be told to put one

foot in front of another. Macbeth's mistake, originally

started by that one supernatural encounter with the three witches

eventually leads to his demise.
