The Supernatural  Act I Scene III: " Are ye fantastical"

Act II Scene I : "Is This a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee! I have not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?"  Act V Scene I: " Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two.Why then 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow'r to accompt? yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?"

Act III Scene IV : "Prithee see there! behold! look! lo! How say you? Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too. If charnel houses and our graves must send Those that we bury bauk, our monuments Shall be the maws of kites." Act I Scene III: " The wierd Sisters, hand in hand, Posters of the sea and land, Thus do go about, about, Thrice to thine, and thrice to mine, Ant thrice again, to make up nine. Peace!the carm's wound up."

Analysis The supernatural is a driving force behind the story of Macbeth. The witches put the idea of becoming king into Macbeth’s mind and it was their prophecies that gave him his false bravery and confidence. Throughout the story he returns to the witches for further guidance. Without their driving force and guidance it is possible to say that the events in this story may not have happened. The supernatural is the back bone to all the wickedness and deceit of this play. Because of the witches, great wedges were forced between friends and Macbeth’s tyranny and madness reached a new high.

We chose these quotes because they layout how the supernatural is present and causes great turmoil in the story. They represent how the main characters, not just the witches, are involved in the supernatural.
