558 wordsIn his plays, Shakespeare uses many forms of imagery. Many forms of his imagery are used in his play 'Macbeth, ' including the forms of clothing and darkness. Each detail in his imagery, it seems to me, contains an important symbol of the play, and symbols that we must understand if we are to understand either the passage it is in, or the play as a whole. In 'Macbeth' I think that the imagery of clothing is used to suggest that throughout the play, Macbeth is seeking to hide his "disgraceful sel...

Ambitions To Commit Evil In Macbeth
