Shakespeare has made a plenty use of supernatural elements, be it the sea-storm in the Tempest, the diety of Diana in Perciles, Prince Of Tyre, the ghost of King Hamlet in Hamlet, the King of fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream , the three witches In Macbeth, ghosts of Posthumus's parents In Cymbeline and so forth.
The supernatural elements as one can discern, drive the plot ahead or bring in a major twist in the story. The most interesting thing to observe is the tact of Shakespeare in using such elements with an authenticity which compells us to beleive them as real or existing.
