Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth personifies the bell as a calling or signal to murder King Duncan. In this quotation, the bell “invites” Macbeth to kill the King immediately. Macbeth also pretends to tell Duncan that Duncan should not listen to the bell, because the bell symbolizes Duncan’s death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sleep symbolizes peace and innocence in Macbeth. For example, in Act 2, Scene 2, after murdering King Duncan in his sleep, Macbeth hears a voice say, ‘’Macbeth does murder sleep. ‘’ Not only has Macbeth destroyed Duncan’s sleep but also his own ability to rest peacefully.
