William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" in segment "Act 4 Scene 1" unveils the supernatural features

many Elizabethan citizens believed in, as he used texts to communicate and inform stereotypes and
stories to entertain. Through the art of "scriptural techniques," Shakespeare manipulates the use of
stage direction in a way that portrays the traits of supernatural creatures and beings. William
Shakespeare communicates these mythical beings' features through stage directions displayed when he
uses the trio witches, "Thunder! First Apparition…." This stage direction informs the audience of the
controlling powers the Witches possess, showing us the strength of their magic and sorcery, displaying
the link to the paranormal activity suggesting their evil work to be intertwined with the dark magic and
beings. William Shakespeare's "Act 4 Scene 1" highlights the compelling magic the witches in Macbeth
hold and their links with paranormal activity and beings.
