Introduction:

Shakespeare uses his play (“Macbeth”) when the character is “Macbeth” to send messages to the audience about what is the consequences of being evil and ambition, remember at the beginning at the play he was a hero but after he met the witches he got evil and controlled, well not controlled but manipulated of getting “POWER”. So Macbeth is telling us to don’t be the same person has Macbeth is so you do gonna end the same thing has him. Shakespeare uses (“Figurative / Language / Structure / Dramatic Devices”)

Figurative (Metaphor)

Shakespeare uses metaphor not just because he likes to use, he uses metaphor to show that Macbeth’s deteriorating state of mind (damage his brain).

At the start of the Play, when Macbeth sees the witches, Macbeth thinks that he was going crazy. when  he says ” foul and fair a day I have not seen” , he is saying that he had never seen witches and maybe he can decide if is  good or bad.

Dramatic Devices (Dramatic Irony)

 when Macbeth says, “So foul and fair a day i have not seen,” to what is he referring? What could be the dramatic irony in this line?

 Macbeth refers to the day as “foul” because so many people have died in the battle against the Norwegians and Scottish rebels and “fair” because the Scottish soldiers won the battle. He grieves for the loss of life but rejoices in victory. In the opening scene of the play, the witches use the same words when they say, “Fair is foul and foul is fair,” and set the tone for the play. The audience has heard their words, but Macbeth doesn’t know about them, thus fulfilling the definition of dramatic irony. The confusion between what is good and what is evil will pervade the play, particularly for Macbeth.

In act 2 scene 1 Before Macbeth killed Duncan he says:

Macbeth:

 

“I’m going now. The murder is as good as done.

The bell is telling me to do it. Don’t listen to the

bell, Duncan, because it summons you either to

heaven or to hell.”

In this quote Macbeth is controlled by the power of being killed, he chooses the power instead of his friends.
And how i said he could of choose the good or bad on the witches and he chooses the bad way to go.
