There's a lot of apostrophe. "Come, let me clutch thee! I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou, fatal vision, not as sensible to touch as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind . . ." (I'm quoting from memory here; a few words might be off)

The poetic devices in this soliloquy include metaphor (comparing the dagger to a hallucination), imagery (creating vivid mental pictures), and personification (attributing human traits to the dagger). These devices help convey Macbeth's internal struggle and descent into madness.
