Natural is the normal, good side, on the other hand, unnatural is the bad, disordered side. The motif of unnatural has occurred several times throughout the play. The play leans more towards the supernatural, the same side that lead Macbeth to his demise. Unnatural events occur when the main characters do something evil…

Because Elsinore is Gertrude. It alone incarnates the place of power. This raises the…
In a quest narrative story, the coexistence of virtue and villain assists the development of both plot and the protagonist.

They are responsible for different tasks. Zula and Malak…

As the play progresses…
