Greed For Power Macbeth And Lady Macbeth
960 wordsIn the play Macbeth, the setting, along with the atmosphere, creates an important image in the audience's mind. Although this "image" is purely inside one's head, it provides the audience and / or reader with two things: a) background -- what has happened recently before the scene started; this includes the weather, and b) the instant to think in a "biased" way.
