How Does Shakespeare Use Figurative Language In Macbeth

Macbeth is a powerful play written in 1606 by William Shakespeare and has been taken from generation to generation. Macbeth and the drama have been performed in many different styles since it was written. It was most famously recited and recorded by Trevor Nunn in the 1970s and in 2010 by Rupert Goold. Both follow the basis of Shakespeare's original piece, but also give different physiological elements for Macbeth based on the setting and surroundings. This work of art is abstract and can be interpreted and analyzed in many different ways.

One way this can be explained is as a historical secrecy. Macbeth has a historical background and this involves the Elizabethan way of living. Since Macbeth was considered a Noble, he lived a more colorful

and extravagant life. Furthermore, it is a quick adventurous murder story with a lot of suspense. A moral aspect can be involved in this interpretation; the play shows that murder is not worthwhile. This is shown when Macbeth and his wife both die after all of the murders of there supposed threats. From this play, you can also get a better understanding the thoughts of a psychological murderer’s mind. Macbeth changes from being a compassionate man into a ruthless murderer. With the use of soliloquies, the viewer is given a great understanding of Macbeth’s psychological perspective. This is because it reveals Macbeth’s and Lady Macbeth’s deepest feelings. This interpretation deals with both the hideous and aggressive attitudes of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Also, this can be explained as a play full of political and social authenticity.
Furthermore, you can also argue that the story of Macbeth deals with an overbearing ranked society that produces corrupt individuals; Macbeth is a prime example of one of these corrupt individuals.

It is shown from the reading and says that Macbeth is already at the top of the hierarchy. But because of his greed for a higher position that holds more power, he becomes corrupt and murders the king. In addition, Macbeth is a dramatic poem. Shakespeare uses great language and imagery to generate a great visionary effect. He uses a lot of symbols, figurative language, and other sufficient elements; the way he uses language has a great effect on the audience. Lastly, Macbeth is also seen to be a tragedy. It can be compared to Greek tragedies because it contains most of its makeup and theatrical elements. One element that stands out the most is the idea of three characters in one. Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and the three witches are characters that play a big role in this play and can be seen as one person. This is because Lady Macbeth and the witches are the internal thoughts and voices of Macbeth and they direct him to do horrendous actions. The witches and Lady Macbeth are a symbol of his detached

knowledge.
Meanwhile, Nunn's Macbeth seemed to have different portrayals of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Judy Dench's performance as Lady Macbeth was fascinating making her an essential character in the play. Without her strong influence, it is hard to visualize Macbeth doing what he did. The language used by McKellen and Dench was filled with courage and fortitude, allowing them to play such powerful roles in the portrayals as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The interest and strong emotion between the actors was overpowering and made the idea clear that Nunn was trying to emphasize Lady Macbeth's role in forcing her husband to show that he is a man and not helpless. We can see the authenticity in Lady Macbeth's remark that Macbeth was too kind to accomplish the dark action of killing the king. The possibility of Macbeth's weakness plays a big role in characterizing the production of Nunn's Macbeth. McKellen's Macbeth started to thrive in nobility as the play went on. His inner courage and flourishing compliance with his fate become more visible because of his actions. Macbeth was a character who went from a man shaking out of Duncan's bedroom to one who concluded that the witches' prophecies have led him to his demise, allowing him to understand and embrace it with the strength that seemed to have grown as his wife slowly faded away from his life.
Goold's Macbeth which is set in a Soviet Russian era seems to be more modernized.

The costumes, props, and setting resemble a time much closer to our own. This gives an interesting view on the way you would view the play of Macbeth. According to Shakespeare's text, the contrast between the productive and generous language of Duncan and the sinister, empty words of Macbeth seems to mark a definite difference between the two. The awkwardness with the purity of the play was carried throughout. An example is in the first scene when a wounded soldier reports to King Duncan what Macbeth has done on the battlefield, but when Duncan gives orders to take care of the wounded soldier, he is given a shot of chemicals that kill him. This gives viewers an early understanding of doubt about Duncan's rule. The stage direction is only present in Rupert Goold version, in the original version, Shakespeare does not attempt this stage

direction.
In addition, Goold's interpretation of Lady Macbeth is a strong character that should fade away from the main point of communication as the play progresses. In this play, the motivation driving the collapse of Macbeth himself is very critical. Stewart's Macbeth seems to unleash the natural darkness within himself. His vicious madness is made clear even from the murder, where he looks wildly around him, asking Lady Macbeth if she can hear the voices that whisper in his ear saying "sleep no more, Macbeth". It is very evident that Macbeth is rather more cruel and powerfully compelling than noble. Stewart bringing his ideas, along with McKellen’s, of Macbeth to the stage was great to see and the plays flexibility and quantity for so many explanations of its main character can only be described as psychological.
Macbeth has been analyzed in many styles by different directors. The idea that Macbeth can be performed throughout different generations shows that it obtains universal qualities. This play allows people to relate to the moral conditions and the psychological feelings. Furthermore, it has the same pressure as a Greek tragedy, and because those are famous literary artworks, there is no surprise that Macbeth is also universally recognized.
