the humans human species in the near future. Bradbury wrote books warning humans to be careful for what they create because the technology that they have created may succeed any human costing humans their life.

The theme of supernatural forces was demonstrated through several events in the Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. The first time readers see the supernatural theme is when the witches speak with Macbeth. The witches prophecy Macbeths future by saying, “All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail Macbeth! That shalt be king hereafter!”(Shakespeare 307). Therefore by the witches foretelling the future it proves that they…
