refore the reader/audience understand that Macbeth is having evil thoughts. The imagery illustrates a lot about Macbeth’s character because one can see that Macbeth is very evil and vicious because he wants to murder two innocent people. The theme that this quote conveys is good versus evil because Macbeth is evil and Banquo is good. The former knows that his thoughts are evil about the later, but due to the fact that the former has already shed so much blood he fails to refrain himself from his savage feelings. In the same way, clothing imagery is used when Macbeth says, “The Thane of Caldor lives: Why do u dress me in borrowed robes.” ( , ,109) This type of imagery puts a clear image in ones mind of what Shakespeare is trying to say. It also depicts Macbeth’s character because it shows that Macbeth does not want to take a title which is not his. This is also a great comparison because it illustrates the change in Macbeth from the beginning of the play to the end. At the beginning he is generally a good person but as the play goes on there is a drastic change in the character, he becomes evil and takes over many things which are not his. The theme that this quote develops is appearance versus reality because Macbeth does not want to be something he is not and also it shows that just because one dresses like something does not necessarily mean that, that is who they are. In simpler terms clothing and animal imagery help create the characters personalities and by doing this aid in the production of the themes.All in all Shakespeare’s Macbeth, accurately uses the literary techniques of irony, which show that things aren’t always what they seem; paradox which depict that sometimes things should be reexamined to find out the real or other then literal meaning of what is being said, and imagery which illustrates that putting images in peoples minds is one of the best ways to convey a message....
