SUPERNATURAL IMAGERY

    Imagery  in  Macbeth is provided from many different things, one of the things  is the

APPARITIONS. The apparitions occur because Macbeth goes to the witches to receive

more information about his future, and how long he will rein as king.

    The witches cast a spell which causes Macbeth to see apparitions, the first apparition is an

armed head, and told him to beware Macduff. The second apparition come in the form of a

bloody child, telling Macbeth that no man born of a child can harm him. The third

apparition come in the form of a crowned child, with a tree in his hand. Telling Macbeth

that unless Birnam wood started to walk towards his castle he will remain king.

    This gives Macbeth a false scence of security, because he can kill Macduff, he thinks that

every man is born of woman and because Birnam wood can not get up and walk towards his

castle.

    Imagery is also present when Macbeth is going to kill Duncan and he see a dagger leading him

to Duncan's room.
 



 

                SUPERNATURAL MOOD


The Supernatural mood in Macbeth is scary.  This helps the play by

provoking a sense of fear in the audience. Even though it doesn't seem that frightening compared to

today's movies and plays, it would have scared the heck out of the audience of the time.

Since the fear of witches is very real at the time this is why it is so scary.
