Quotes In Macbeth – Macbeth.


Hyperbole – ‘unseamed’ – shows his extreme loyalty and dedication to his country as if it is
like a zipper on a coat like it is an everyday task by disconnecting himself from the atrocities
of war as if he has singlehandedly won this war, the battlefield is Macbeths painting in which
blood is the colour he paints with.


‘Unseamed him Noun – ‘him’ – shows how this
from the nave man is not named as if he is not
to the chops’. a real person, showing the
ruthless traits of war having no
mercy on anyone.
Vivid Imagery ‘nave to the chops’ – shows how Macbeth
almost cut him in half completely as if it was effortless
showing the sheer brutality of war and how no one was safe
from armed soldiers in battle showing Macbeths cool, calm
and composed attitude while at war reinforcing the true code
of chivalry.




Oxymoron – ‘light’, ‘black’ – shows how Macbeth doesn’t want society to find out
about his inner evil thoughts which could be revealed by the suspicion of members of
society with his involvement with engaging and encouraging the witches’ prophecies.




Possessive Pronoun – ‘my’ – shows ‘Let not light see
how he realises that this is all down my black and
to him and doesn’t want anyone to deep desires’.
discover this horrendous act.




Alliteration – ‘deep desires’ – illustrates how Macbeth is wrong and evil and
shows how his evil thoughts and obsession of becoming king are beginning
to take over him and how he understands that what he is doing is sinful and
shameful.
