In Macbeth, different supernatural phenomena occur, including: three witches, apparitions and hallucinations. Each of these phenomena has a role in Macbeth. The witches were the reason for this whole play and their predictions had caused Macbeth to kill King Duncan. The role of the apparitions was to try to warn Macbeth of his future. Hallucinations played the role of Macbeth's subconscious. The supernatural seems unrealistic, but it is the reason for the intrigue of this play. The supernatural role of the witches in Macbeth is that they represent Macbeth's past, present, and future. When he first meets them, they tell him that he will become the Thane of Cawdor and become the King of Scotland and then he is told that he is the Thane of Cawdor. They lead him to do things he wouldn't have thought of doing alone. The witches gave him the idea to become king of Scotland and, convinced by his lady, Macbeth killed King Duncan to become king of Scotland. He then had Banquo and his son killed so that Banquo's line could not continue. The witches were behind the play. The apparitions were seen during another meeting with Macbeth and the witches. These apparitions serve as a warning to Macbeth about his future. There are three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child and a crowned child holding a tree. These apparitions tell of Macbeth's fall and how he will lose the throne forever. The armed head is that of Macbeth and it represents beware of Macduff; the bloody child tells him that no man born of woman can harm him; and the final appearance of a crowned child holding a tree tells him that he is invincible until Birnam Wood moves.
