Macbeth - Supernatural Theme
.... tension only rises as Macbeth suffers a breakdown and crumbles in front of many distinguished guests, only heightening any prior suspicions they may have had. If Banquo didn’t appear during the scene, Macbeth would only remain content that his friend had been murdered knowing that the task of keeping Banquo’s children off the throne had grown much easier. Banquo’s appearance helps to portray Macbeth as a character because it shows that although he has lost most of his decency, he stil .....

Macbeth Imagery
.... even in her sleep. She believes darkness to be the place of torment.
Within the whole play, the sun seems to shine only twice. The first is in the passage when Duncan sees the swallows flirting round the castle of death. The second time, at the end, when the avenging army gathers to rid the earth of its shame. Therefore, the reader can conclude that Shakespeare uses darkness to establish the evil parts of the play. On the other hand, daylight is employed to define victory or goodness in the play.
