The supernatural elements in Macbeth include the appearance of witches who prophesize the future, the supernatural events surrounding King Duncan's murder such as the unnatural darkness and the owl's screech, and the ghost of Banquo haunting Macbeth during a banquet. These elements contribute to the overall atmosphere of mystery and dark forces at play in the play.
In Macbeth, the term "supernatural" refers to any elements or beings that exist outside the natural world and defy scientific explanation. This includes the witches, their prophecies, and other occurrences that suggest a world beyond the physical realm. The supernatural plays a significant role in shaping the characters' actions and the overall tragic events in the play.
