Abstract
Hamlet and Macbeth stand unique from all other great tragedies of Shakespeare. In both the plays, supernatural elements play a key role for the progress of the plays. This study on the supernatural elements present in Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Macbeth explores in three sections; the presence of the supernatural elements, the appearance of the supernatural elements and the purpose of appearance of the supernatural elements. Both plays are psychological dramas. The central theme takes place in the minds of the leading characters Hamlet and Macbeth. The play Hamlet happens in Denmark and Macbeth in Scotland. In Macbeth, the weird Witches are projected as evil beings, their dialogues and prophecies lead to the evil actions of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exploiting and killing many lives. But in Hamlet, the Ghost of the King is portrayed as genuine and good being. The Ghost appears before Hamlet only to avenge the murder of the King and not to harm anyone unnecessarily.
