Supernatural Themes in Macbeth Explained

The supernatural in Macbeth drives the tragedy from the first scene. The three witches deliver prophecies to Macbeth and Banquo, and those predictions tempt Macbeth toward murder. Shakespeare also uses omens, such as the bloody sergeant and unnatural storms, and apparitions, including Banquo's ghost and the armed heads, to show guilt and fate closing in.

  • The witches: their prophecies about Macbeth becoming king and Banquo's sons ruling.
  • Prophecies and equivocation: ambiguous predictions that Macbeth misreads to his cost.
  • Omens: storms, portents and natural disorder reflecting the murder of Duncan.
  • Apparitions: the dagger, Banquo's ghost and the visions in Act 4.
  • Guilt and sleepwalking: how the supernatural mirrors Lady Macbeth's and Macbeth's conscience.

Use this map to revise each supernatural element and link it to its effect on the plot. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own Macbeth notes.
