Macbeth Essay

The first recurrent learn is the dyed or darkness. bleak represents evilness and hell. All of our fears rise in the dark. We can see that most(prenominal) of the mains aspects happen in a dark place or during the night. In f locomote, all the wrap ups and treasons are d integrity in darkness as if the dark could cover and hide the horrible whole caboodle.For good example, in carry I flick V l. 53 to 56, madam Macbeth says Come thick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor nirvana peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry, Hold Hold In this passage, bird Macbeth is thinking ab show up Duncans pip, and she wants to flake in darkness so she will not see the murder. In that way darkness blinds out all of the terrible things that could be done. Then, the burst of Macbeths vision of the stumper happens in the complete darkness so the vision of his future murder comes to Macbeth only at night when no light ca n lead him back to goodness. Banquos murder also happens in the dark. Such evil deeds could only be done in the dark. Then during maam Macbeths calm walking, the only source of light comes from the candle that she keeps by her at night.In fact, Lady Macbeth is very afraid of darkness because it makes her imagine of all the deeds that happened during the night. (Here, light has a positive reassuring role. ) In this scene, she reveals all the crimes that her husband committed with her support. In conclusion, darkness intensifies the horrible deeds and murders and brings a very fearful ambiance to the play. The second image is the one of the calm that is kind of related to the one of the dark because dark and remainder comes together. Firstly, we can see that Duncan is killed during his sleep.This fact is even mentioned by Lady Macbeth in act II scene 2 l. 15 to 16 Had he not resembled My father as he slept, I had donet. Then, in the same scene, Macbeth says l. 46 to 47 Sleep no more Macbeth does murder sleep Ironically, hes going to lose his sleep as well as Lady Macbeth who will become a sleep walker. Then, Lady Macbeth relates sleep with death, when she says in act II scene 2 l. 67 to 70 The sleeping and the dead Are scarce as pictures tis the snapper of childhood That fears a painted evil. The second reference to sleep in relation to death is present in act II scene 3 l. 9 to 80 Shake off this downlike sleep, deaths counterfeilt, And belief on death itself The third image that appears in the book is the image of the light.Light in opposite of the musical composition of darkness is representative of purity, God, goodness, heaven etc. Light is for Macbeth a separate because all his actions consist on killing people, committing deeds and crimes and he doesnt want any light to lighten his awful actions. For example, in act I, he says Stars, hide your fires Let not loight see my black and mystifying desires The eye wink at the hand yet let that be , Which the eye fears, when it done, to see. Here, we understand that his desires are so terrible that he cant even stand the thin light of the stars that shine on them he doesnt even want to look at them himself probably because he feels ashamed. We can also say that through his words, Macbeth constructs a bridge betwixt light and morality. Within the whole drama, the sun seems to shine only twice. First, in the beautiful but ironical passage in which Duncan sees the swallows flirting rough the castle of death (its Macbeths castle when hes going to be murdered).The second time, when at the close of the army (who wants to gravel revenge) gathers to rid the earth of its shame. Therefore, the reader can conclude that Shakespeare portrays darkness to wee-wee the evil parts of the play, we can say that he employs daylight to set apart victory or goodness (as it said before) in the play. The fourth and make it theme is the physical. We found a lot of comparaison between the charac ters and the animals in this play, for example Raven himself is hoarse said by Lady Macbeth in act I scene V. Raven represents death. Looks like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it. Also said by Lady Macbeth in act I scene V. She says that his husband must look nice and calm on the outside but evil inside. We strugglee scorched the snake not killed it. Said by Macbeth in act III scene II, this quote means that snake represents everything that prevents Macbeth from enjoying his kingship. And Duncans horses, attractive and swift, the minions of their race, turned wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out, contending gainst obedience, as they would make war with mankind said by Ross in act II scene IV.Here, Ross says that Duncans horses were acting strange. They broke out of their stalls and started to attack anyone who came in their way. Another image appear in act III scene IV, said by Macbeth Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear. Here, Macbeth is describ ing how the ghost of Banquo is hauting him by coming closer to him like a bear. These imageries of animals which symbolizes the contrastive character of the play, helps to make the plays atmosphere from supernatural nature. Shakespeare uses animal imagery to characterize, to show emotions and also to foreshadow.
