The play “Macbeth” written by “William Shakespeare” explores the theme of power, mechanized by his ambition. His nobility of heart comes from his heroism in inaugurating the work. He progressively deteriorates through his ambition-driven crimes. The use of metaphors and figurative language within the work explores the fall of a hero. Paragraph One In the creation of the play, we immediately hear about Macbeth's nobility. For brave Macbeth, well he deserves that name” The use of the word brave, tells us how he is endowed with courage, a characteristic in which it is required for a person holding the title of nobility. We are further sucked into this belief as his courage is described honorably, using the word “good.” The word "good" tells us that not only is he courageous at that time, but that he constantly demonstrated it nobility. This is explored through the quote “Duncan- I do not dismay this our captain, Macbeth and Banquo” “Captain -Yea, as the eagles the sparrow, or the hare the lion”. The captain tells us how Macbeth is fearless and courageous, he describes Macbeth's fear through the use of imagery, he makes the audience believe that Macbeth can do anything which ironically will later lead to his downfall. Through this quote we believe that Macbeth is scared as much as sparrows scare eagles or rabbits scare a lion. Paragraph Two In Act 1 Scene 7, we see how Macbeth's ambition is driven by Lady Macbeth and her temptations as Macbeth tries to back away from the murder. of Duncan, however, at his fall, she tempts him with the fortunes that come after, "Macbeth - we will proceed no further in this matter." He has honored me of late, and I have bought golden opinions from all kinds of people,.." ...... middle of paper ...... this time of the play we see the real desperation in Macbeth how he hears the news of Lady Macbeth's death and reacts casually and explains how the news of her death was supposed to come one day The repetition technique used in this quote, reflects the routine of existence, the way the word “mean” is used to show how meaningless life is for Macbeth at this point in the play. In the rest of his soliloquy we are shown how his lost hope will later lead to his downfall. Out, out, short candle" Through this quote Macbeth describes the lost life, with the word "Dusty". Dusty is understood in this context as an unimportant factor, which he uses to represent life. "Put out, blow out the short candle" It means life, and how life is a candle that Macbeth is willing to blow out and end because he has not achieved what he wants from his ambition..
