EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -Alliteration: The use of the same consonant sound at the beginning of nearby words. Example: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” Assonance: The use of the same vowel sound in nearby words.
Concept note-2: -The phrase “Fair is Foul, Foul is Fair” (Act 1, Scene 1) is chanted by the three witches at the beginning of the play. It acts as a summary of what is to come in the tale. Shakespeare uses the phrase to show that what is considered good is in fact bad and what is considered bad is actually good.
Concept note-3: -"Fair is foul and foul is fair.” Part of the witches’ conversation: This phrase is a metaphor that describes that state of affairs within Macbeth and without in Scotland. Evil and sinister things have taken the place of all that is good and just.
Concept note-4: -There is great power in confusion and using the equivocal palindrome “fair is foul, and foul is fair” they obfuscate Macbeth’s rationality, causing his morality to be subdued and displaced by “black and deep desires.”
