From the Paper:

"Macbeth is a typical Shakespearean tragedy, which is interspersed with supernatural incidents giving birth to some unrealistic situations. In the clash between natural and unnatural, we notice it is the latter which usually triumphs because it is always given a dominant presence in Shakespearean plays. Often the supernatural forces lead to highly unnatural and unrealistic incidents, which include shifting of forests and mountains to other locations. We need to understand that it is the presence of such forces which make Shakespeare's plays unusual and more exciting than other plays of his times. It is true that most of us find these incidents figments of playwright's imagination yet we cannot deny their importance as they add to the power and force of the entire play."
