Ladies and Gentlemen

In the beginning Lady Macbeth is principally portrayed as the model wife who greets her husband when he arrives. However, following the death of Duncan Lady Macbeth commits suicide as a consequence of her guilt. The use of refuting actions generates the impression Lady Macbeth has been blinded by her power, and noble deeds could be the beginning of iniquitous actions. The writer may be warning…

The genre of magical realism is all about taking reality and turning it upside down, making the mundane seem magical, and at the same time making the magical mundane.

Function: Macbeth utilizes the literary term of asyndeton by removing all conjunctions and replacing them with commas to speed up the flow of his dialogue. The usage of asyndeton allows for the reader to understand the increased excitement Macbeth felt. Concept: Macbeth feels the urge to kill Banquo and Fleance since he wants to achieve as much power as possible.

In Macbeth’s letter, he expresses his excitement about the prophecy though Lady Macbeth questions whether he has…
