Essay / Discuss the use of imagery in Macbeth Act 1 - 1548
Rebellious times accompany King's death. “The night was unruly” seems suspicious because nature seems to become angry at the very moment the king's murder took place; the result is an even darker and more disturbing atmosphere. It seems that nature understands the serious evil deeds that have been committed and protests against them. Speaking of which, there was terrible weather on the battlefield at the beginning of the play. “Shipwreck Storms and Terrible Thunders” draws the reader's attention to the violence and cruelty that took place during the bloody war. The storm is described as extremely powerful because it is capable of destroying ships. “Direful” is a powerful word that describes the apocalyptic events taking place on the planet.
