Devices used in play

Question 1

Pathetic fallacy

Answer 1

Description of weather “thunder” “lightening”
-Sets dark and violent mood
-Hints unnatural events occurring

Question 2

Rhyming Couplets

Answer 2

Only the supernatural characters in play consistently use rhyme - sounds like casting an evil spell.
Eg. Witches: “when the hurly-burly’s done, when the battle’s lost and won”

Question 3

Paradoxes

Answer 3

Witches use paradoxes- ridding and confusing -> indicate they are not to be trusted
eg. “fair is foul and foul is fair”

Question 4

Graphic Imagery in battle

Answer 4

“He unseamed him from the nave to th’chaps”
“bloody execution”
