Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth uses the language of spells in her soliloquy, which associates her with the supernatural and witchcraft. ‘Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts…’ She invokes the ‘spirits’ three times with the repetition of the verb ‘come’ which gives the impression that she is summoning an unseen power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare uses syntax, similes, and personification to convey the evolution of Macbeth’s insanity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Act II-Scene I Macbeth “seeing” the dagger foreshadows the manner by which Duncan will die and Macbeth’s coming hallucinations. The bloody dagger becomes a symbol for Macbeth’s rampant ambition.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shakespeare uses imagery in Macbeth to examine moral issues, such as guilt and retribution, and to highlight the play’s concern with the conflict between appearance and reality. The clothing imagery in the play highlights the conflict between appearance and reality: Macbeth’s clothes are described as ill-fitting.
