Essay on the role of the witches and the supernatural in Macbeth

Can someone help me, I am totally lost, I have been set a 1000 word essay to do and my question is this: Explore the role of the witches and the supernatural in Macbeth.
Please Please I am feeling like a drop in the ocean with this one

Greetings!

This is a common subject with reference to the works of Shakespeare, and particularly Macbeth. The supernatural was an accepted part of life in his era, and thus often an important part of his plays. In Macbeth, there were numerous instances where supernatural elements had significant roles: Banquo's ghost, the witches and their apparitions, the dagger... all of them had a function in the play. The witches, in particular, represented Macbeth's ambition and his dark side. I think if you do some research into what others have written on the topic, you will garner a better understanding of how to approach your paper. Fortunately, with a classic like Macbeth, there is a plethora of material available to read. Start Googling! :-)

I hope this helps get you going!

I'm feeling very unsure of how to start such an essay, I cannot get off the ground with this, I found it awful to read and because it is done round the class the constant change and tone of voice is the only thing that went in

While some people love Shakespeare, it is not everyone's cup of tea! :-) You might want to start out with something like this: "The supernatural elements in Macbeth play an important role, mirroring the darkness within the title character's psyche."

There really is a lot of information online about Macbeth. While you do not, of course, want to commit plagiarism by "borrowing" someone else's words, you could certainly increase your understanding of how to write about Macbeth and the supernatural by seeing what others have had to say about it.

The hardest part is always getting started. Try not to get too stressed; just read some , write some, and then post some here so I can help you with editing! :-)
