Fichas del conjunto (5)
- 1MotifsThese are images or themes that recur throughout the play. Darkness and night, blood and hallucinations feature in "Macbeth".
- 2MetaphorA series of animals associated with darkness and death (snake, scorpion, beetle, crow) represent Macbeth's state of mind after the murder of Duncan.
- 3RepetitionThe word 'sleep' is repeated and acts as a euphemism for Duncan's death and the resulting sleeplessness that Macbeth's guilt ensures.
- 4Rhyming coupletsThe witches speak in rhyming couplets, which suggests a world of spells and incantations and adds to their otherworldliness. Couplets also provide conclusions to dramatic scenes and speeches.
- 5ProseShakespeare often uses prose, as opposed to blank verse, to indicate a fall from nobility or perfection. Lady Macbeth speaks prose throughout her final appearance.
