Finally, Act 2 Scene 2 contains dramatic irony as well. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are running around furiously, trying to cover up Duncan’s murder. The audience knows that they are imagining things because of their guilt and fear, but they think that there are supernatural messages all around them. Subtle warning to audience of the repercussions of not adhering to the Great Chain of Being (widespread and unnatural chaos) This is an example of foreshadowing, as Isabel does go on to be very unhappy in her marriage to Osmond, who wants her money but does not value her as the independent person that she is. It’s simultaneously an example of situational irony because Isabel believes incorrectly—yet confidently—that she knows Osmond better than anyone else, viewing him as a humble art collector deserving of her love and financial support. With bloody and invisible hand…great bond → metaphor; asking night to destroy the remnants of his conscience

In Macbeth, how does the line “a little water clears of us

Is’t night’s predominance…light should kiss it? → rhetorical question is purposely ambiguous to test where the Old Man’s sympathies lie; is it the overpower of (symbolically) evil, or the death of Duncan, that has resulted in this unnatural darkness Macbeth’s elevated language seems to be returning to the level of the previous of Acts, shows that he is still inherently the same man.Heavy hand hath bowed you to the grave…forever → Banquo’s power and influence has (metaphorically) killed and impoverished their families the time is free” → ‘Time’ represents Scotland itself, and shows that it has been purged from Macbeth’s evil There is a significant amount of foreshadowing in this scene. This is the scene where the English soldiers cut down the wood of Birnam It is a tale told by an idiot… nothing. → idiots are writers of the play; no matter what, at the end of the play, the stage will be empty While the watch is splash resistant, it is essential to note that it should not be exposed to water, making it an ideal companion for daily wear and indoor occasions.

The Story ‘The Luncheon’ relates about a lady who admires the author. Having won the author’s favour, she expresses her with to meet aim at an expensive restaurant. Maugham exposes the false motives of the middle class eating habits with a touch of humour. I have almost forgot the taste of fears” → compares fear to an edible object, as if it is something experienced by tasting. Shows his evolution as a character from a guilty, frightened perpetrator to a murderous tyrant. The following conversation between Isabel and Ralph captures the irony of Isabel’s resistance to her loved ones’ critiques of her fiancé: That darkness…entomb when living light should kiss it? → darkness covers earth despite being day; influence of supernatural factorsMadame Merle] said to her in a few moments: “You were charming, my dear; you were just as one would have wished you. You’re never disappointing.” The lady was 40 yrs old, talkative and not attractive. She loved the writing of the narrator. She had read of his books and wrote a letter to congratulate him on his work. She manipulates him by requesting to chat with him and a little lunch at Foyot- an expensive restaurant that he cannot afford to dine at. She gets what she wants but the poor author has to pay the price.She was in fact a woman of a charming age. But she is not one that excites a sudden and overwhelming passion at first sight. She is an extremely food loving and, ravenous woman. She doesn’t even think a bit about the costs of the expensive dishes, that narrator has to pay for the lunch. Her, “I never eat more than one thing” is her signature dialogue. This woman is smart, experienced, selfish and hardly bothered about the expense.She has her own way and just thinks about herself: her interests, her longings etc. She doesn’t consider whether the poor author can afford such expensive dishes. Theme of the Story The fact that Banquo sits in Macbeth’s place signifies that Macbeth’s reign will not stay in his posterity This scene being the last appearance of Lady Macbeth reflects the fact that she has become unimportant to Macbeth after this point, a meaningless irrelevancy.

‘Irony Lady’: How a Moscow propagandist gave Margaret

As Pilate, Lady Macbeth hopes that a symbolic act of purification will cleanse her of her responsibility. She has confused metaphor with matter! If she later feels remorse, it is in a relative kind of way. One gets the impression that she is more focused on the guilt she must bear rather than upon the actual suffering she has inflicted. She loses her initial brazeness:The author only communicated with the lady through the mail. So, he is rather surprised to meet a woman of forty. She gives him “the impression of having more teeth, white and large and even, than were necessary for any practical purpose.” Consequences of killing Duncan “This even-handed justice commends th’ingredience of our poisoned chalice to our own lips”, “bloody instructions, which being taught, return to plague th’inventor”
