Consider the importance of imagery in Macbeth. ...
In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare uses imagery so extensively for several reasons. ... For this reason he used imagery to create word-pictures for his audience who were mainly only able to hear the play being performed. It also would have been daylight when this play was performed making it more difficult to image the dark and evil sides to the play and to Macbeth. ... I think that clothing is used, especially in Macbeth’s case, to disguise a person’s personality. ...
Macbeth wears a king’s clothing but has achieved this status unlawfully. ... ”
This quotation is saying that may King Duncan rest in peace (old robes) as the new ones (Macbeth) will not. ... Macduff never completely trusted Macbeth and always suspected him of the murder of Duncan. I believe that this quotation is true as now Duncan is peacefully resting, whereas Macbeth will never rest again as a consequence. ... Clothing plays a vital part and transforms Macbeth into a king although he gained this worthy title unlawfully. ... Shakespeare used this imagery to give the impression of evil being ever present. ...
Another image consistently used in the play Macbeth is sleep. This is used when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are unable to sleep after the murder of King Duncan. ... ”
Eventually this deprivation of sleep and guilty conscience are too much for Lady Macbeth and she becomes seriously ill.
