One can then see how Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth into committing crimes in order to have more power, which develops into the both of them having their mental state slowly spiral out of control. Finally we can see that this claim is developed when Macbeth finally feels the guilt of what he did and slowly becomes insane, which leads to his downfall.…

    His hallucinations of daggers and ghosts are not an intervention of supernatural entities or witchcraft, but instead symbols of Macbeth’s heavily damaged mentality and the all-encompassing guilt that resides in it. While Lady Macbeth is certainly more dastardly than her husband, even suffers from guilt-based hallucinations as well, an example of which being the blood preventing her from cleaning her hands. It is the supernatural capabilities of the three witches and their ability to correct guess events that have yet to happen that overwhelm both Macbeth and his wife and makes both of them feel as if they have a much larger burden on their shoulders than they really do. Thus, the supernatural also behaves as a catalyst for the characters’ actions. There are three primary examples of supernatural intervention in Macbeth: the actions of the witches and their prophecies, the ghost of Banquo, and the dagger guiding Macbeth to his next victim.…
