Detailed explanation-1: -In classical mythology, a Gorgon was a female creature, like Medusa, who was so hideous that just looking at her would cause you to go blind. With this mythological reference, Macduff is saying that the sight of Duncan’s murdered corpse is so horrific it might cause Lennox to go blind.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Macbeth, William Shakespeare uses many allusions, but especially mythological and biblical ones. In one of the earliest descriptions of Macbeth, Ross describes him as the bridegroom of Bellona, the Roman goddess of war. The gods Hecate and Neptune, as well as the Roman ruler Tarquin, are also referenced.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alliteration occurs as the witches chant: Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. In the cauldron boil and bake.
