    Macbeth Figurative Language Essay

    This essay will attempt to explore what the play ‘Macbeth’ suggests about the states of minds of both the titular character Macbeth, and his scheming wife Lady Macbeth, using extracts from Act 1, Scene 7. I will also examine how the language used emphasises the key themes and ideas within the play. The characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are revealed and developed through their dialogues with use of soliloquies and asides, helping to reveal their personalities, states of mind, emotions and motivation. Much figurative language and imagery is used by Shakespeare to emphasise the themes within the play, creating atmosphere and mood in order to achieve dramatic outcome (109). Initially eager to have the deed done, he would have it done sooner rather than later and hope for the murder to be the finish of it all:…

    Lady Macbeth

    Lady Macbeth loses her sanity totally by act 5. Her insanity is foregrounded in the first scene of the act in Macbeth.The gentlewoman serving Lady Macbeth feels simultaneously sympathy and a sense of bitterness to such heinous path Lady Macbeth along with Macbeth chose to achieve success. In act 5, scene 1 of Macbeth, it is presented that Lady Macbeth has lost her senses, and suffers from sleepwalking. She seems to have also a mania regarding her feeling of having blood in her hands. In the beginning of the scene, it is evident through the conversations between the doctor and the maid that she is going through an intricate problem. As the actions proceed, it is clear that she does walk in sleep frequently. Not only that, she has lost senses and has been a sort of maniac since she tries to wash her hands rubbing them as if there was blood there. She has a psychological illusion that the blood of King Duncan is stuck to her hands. Her inner guilt and constant trepidation result in insanity. Because it is she who is the closest observer, confidante, and to many extents, a partner of the brutal tyrant Macbeth in his monstrous crimes. She has instigated him and knows what dreadful deeds Macbeth has done by now. And she also knows it well that: "What's done cannot be undone". In fact, now, there is an indication that she seems to find her surroundings a hell which is a dark place. Probably that is why she keeps "light by her continually".Her abrupt speech like: "who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him" or "All the perfumes of Arabia couldn't make my little hand smell better" is not only meaningless lunatic utterance; rather, the feeling of her that the blood is irremovable and her constant rubbing to wash it away, are the symbolic expressions of her continuous mental agony and sense of guilt.…
