play to having to have light at all times to protect her. The two contrasting concepts became so important in showcasing the rise and deterioration of Lady Macbeth. Blood imagery was also a huge part of the gruesome play, and it would only make sense to find creative ways of describing a subject that kept showing up scene after scene. When Lady Macbeth was seen sleep walking on the fifth scene, she vividly described the smell of the stains of blood in her hands. Here's the smell of the blood…
There’s a very old saying, which is still prominent in our lives, that ''the man, who has no imagination, has no wings''. We are all aware of that. The imagination runs the show.

Macbeth is the best example of Shakespeare's use of imagination. Macbeth becomes very obsessed, or say possessed with an idea of becoming king that his imagination leads him…

“By the pricking of my thumbs,/ Something wicked this way comes.(4.1.44-45)” The three Weird Sisters from the play Macbeth were incarnations of evil. In the time Shakespeare lived, there was heavy interest in the supernatural. The supernatural was the way the people of the Elizabethan era explained every bad thing that happened in their lives. The sole purpose of anything not normal was to cause chaos and to bring harm. For this reason, Shakespeare may have used The Sisters for numerous aims. By…

three witches who open the play introduce one of the major themes in the play - appearances are deceiving - by stating “fair is foul and foul is fair” (I.i.12).

Macbeth is concerned about getting caught, but Lady Macbeth instructs him to “look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t” (I.v.64-).

In a quest narrative story, the coexistence of virtue and villain assists the development of both plot and the protagonist. In the story of “Destroyer”, the main character Conan carries out his duty and defeats the monsters along with is companions. As far as I’m concerned, virtue is built up by the loyalty, trust, perseverance and cooperation among Conan, Malak the thief, Akiro the wizard, Zula the bandit warrior, and Jehnna the princess. They are responsible for different tasks. Zula and Malak…

As the play progresses…
