Comparing the Uses of the Supernatural in Shakespeare’s Comedies and Tragedies
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the ways in which in much of Shakespeare’s work, the supernatural -- in the form of ghosts, fairies, strange creatures, and unnatural weather phenomena -- exist as much as a character in the play as any of the flesh and blood characters. In several of Shakespeare’s other works, the function of the supernatural is a more subtle occurrence but one that has an even more profound impact on the plays’ characters and the outcomes of events. This paper looks at the different applications in Shakespeare’s romances compared to tragedies. Plays discussed are: “Macbeth,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” “The Winter’s Tale,” and “The Tempest.” No secondary sources.
