Ame three supernatural powers that people thought witches had.
bulgar [2K]
In Shakespeare’s time people believed in witches. They were people who had made a pact with the Devil in exchange for supernatural powers. If your cow was ill, it was easy to decide it had been cursed. If there was plague in your village, it was because of a witch. If the beans didn’t grow, it was because of a witch. Witches might have a familiar – a pet, or a toad, or a bird – which was supposed to be a demon advisor. People accused of being witches tended to be old, poor, single women. It is at this time that the idea of witches riding around on broomsticks (a common household implement in Elizabethan England) becomes popular.

There are lots of ways to test for a witch. A common way was to use a ducking stool, or just to tie them up, and duck the accused under water in a pond or river. If she floated, she was a witch. If she didn’t, she was innocent. She probably drowned. Anyone who floated was then burnt at the stake. It was legal to kill witches because of the Witchcraft Act passed in 1563, which set out steps to take against witches who used spirits to kill people.

King James I became king in 1603. He was particularly superstitious about witches and even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth especially to appeal to James – it has witches and is set in Scotland, where he was already king. The three witches in Macbeth manipulate the characters into disaster, and cast spells to destroy lives. Other magic beings, the fairies, appear in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Elizabethans thought fairies played tricks on innocent people – just as they do in the play.

Read this description of a detail from the movie I Am Legend.
IceJOKER [234]

The answer is: flashback.

Flashback is a transition to an earlier time in the story, interrupting the chronological order of events. It is commonly used to show a scene that explains the current events by giving the viewer additional information about the characters' past. In the excerpt about the movie I Am Legend, we have a flashback to the moment when the zombie apocalypse began.

Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the viewers know and understand something that the characters themselves don't. A usual example is when the viewers know the police officer is talking to the killer while the police officer him/herself does not know it.

Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later on unfold into something more important, even though it seemed trivial in the beginning.

Special effects are well known. They create an illusion and may be done by diverse means. Nowadays, computer graphics are probably responsible for most of the special effects we see, along with makeup and props.
