An example of a symbol could be Macduff's son. Macduff's son could be said to represent the bravery, innocence, and hope that Macbeth is killing in his kingdom, much like how he killed Macduff's son. He starts off with the kingdom on his side but as things continue, he loses their trust. Yet they become to afraid to go up against him.
Mood~ The mood of a story is the atmosphere or feeling that is created through details, actions, or words the author selects. An example of mood would be when the witches are putting things into the cauldron and talking with Macbeth saying "Go all around the cauldron; throw in poisoned guts./answer the questions I ask you." (IV.I.3-62) This creates a darker and wicked tone because of the many ingredients added and then Macbeth's sudden presence.
Hyperbole~ A hyperbole is an exaggeration that isn't meant to be taken seriously.

To abandon his wife, his children, his mansion, and his possessions, leaving them here to flee somewhere else?" (IV.II.8-10) Macduff could be seen as a coward because at the first sign of trouble he ran, leaving his family by themselves. He didn't even go back for a brief moment to explain and say his goodbye's, he just left. However, you can see his heroic side later when he speaks saying, "Instead, let us firmly take hold of a deadly sword, and like good men, fight for our fallen land." (IV.III.4-6) While he may have left, he also is thinking of the good of the country. Wanting to help restore his country, fighting against the evil tyrant that Macbeth has become.
