7. SHAKESPEARE’S WRITING STYLE Use of Figurative Language  Shakespeare’s characters often speak in similes and metaphors—to expand ideas and amplify imagery Example: “Doubtful it stood; As two spent swimmers, that do cling together And choke their art” (Macbeth I.2)

8. MORE FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE Watch for personification: “pity, like a naked newborn babe” (I.7) “It weeps, it bleeds; and each new day a gash” (IV.3) Hyperbole: “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? … all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand (Act V, Scene I)

9. DRAMATIC DEVICES Soliloquy: Monologue with character is alone on stage  Allows us to witness the conflict between Macbeth’s honorable nature and his ambition combined with his desire to please his wife Aside: The character is speaking either to himself or directly to the audience. There are other characters onstage who by convention do not hear the aside BOTH give the audience insight into the character’s thoughts and emotions…

10. DRAMATIC DEVICES Foil: a character who highlights or emphasizes certain traits of the main character by contrasting them Allusion: an indirect reference to another event, person or work with which the writer assumes the reader is familiar, including:  Greek and Roman mythology  Roman history  the Bible

11. MOTIFS Notice how Shakespeare repeats (or repeats and develops) certain themes or phrases: Fair is foul, foul is fair Going against nature / What is natural Cleaning blood from their hands The witches’ abuse of words—ambiguities, hidden meanings Guilt, repression, and madness Sleep and sleeplessness
