Write the note of the images and symbols employed in Macbeth what is the fair is foul and foul is fair symbolise
Light and darkness appears to be recurring images in the play when the play opens there is hardly any trace of light. Most of the scenes of the play are set in the darkness.So, darkness stand for evil murder, sorrow, murder and inhumanity. There is a contrast between good and evil through the contrast between light and darkness, hell and heaven. Duncan is murdered in the night also Lady Macbeth in the sleepwaking scene was in night .
Blood is the key symbol in the play from the appearance of the "bloody surgent" in the second scene of the play to the last scenes blood is everywhere .It highten the atmosphere of evil and supernatural thrilled. Macbeth' sword "smoked with bloody execution"" the dagger marked with gouls of blood" the reputations of "bloody business" etc. speak on the behalf of the bloody atmosphere. The smell of blood appears first Macbeth later Lady Macbeth ,too fails to bear with the smell of blood. The word 'blood' occurred almost hundred times.
The dagger symbolise the murder of Duncan Dress is another image used in the play when Rosse calls Macbeth 'Thane of Cowdor' Macbeth said "why do you dress me in borrowed robes; gardening rather hoticultures and plantly" when Duncan thanks, Banquo quoted" Thane if I grow/ the harvest is your own'. The witches cry "fair is foul and foul is fair' strike the keynote and serve a great purpose for it , suggest appearently the weather but later it comes to the reader's mind that it is about how the fear and valiant Macbeth turned into a foul one and hellkite.
The baby image associated with the milk is used by Shakespeare. Lady Macbeth characterized Macbeth's nature as the milk of human nature. Lady Macbeth invokes the evil spirits to 'take my milk for gall' . Hands and eye images suggest the gap between desire and performance. Lady Macbeth rubs her hands and frantically to wipe out the strain of guilty . Macbeth sees the dagger but could not clasps. It symbolises the divisions between Macbeth's perceptions of evil and his rapt drift into it. An atmosphere of evil is crafted by thundering , lightning , storms lamenting, the strike deaths and so on .
animals imagery is also uniqueness .A Falcon is attacked and killed by housing mouse . Actually the symbolise is disorder.The Ghost of Banquo represent the fear- ridden mind of Macbeth.
So, the images and symbols heightened and widened the atmosphere of evil and supernaturalism In Macbeth. The employed images enhance the craftsmanship of Shakespeare.
