Shakespeare plays often have similar imagery which runs through the play. In the case of Macbeth, the image is one of blood. The dagger with gouts of blood on its dudgeon, Lady Macbeth talking about "gilding" the grooms with blood (echoed in Macbeth's "his silver skin laced with his golden blood."), the apparition of a bloody child who tells Macbeth to be "bloody", Macbeth's "I am stepped in blood so deep that returning were as tedious as go o'er", the murderer with blood on his face, and the trenched gashes on Banquo's head, are just some examples of this blood-imagery. There are dozens more.

What imagery does Shelley employ when the character describes his awakening?

In "Frankenstein," the character's awakening is described using imagery such as darkness turning to light, sensations flooding in as if a rushing tide, and a dawning awareness of his own existence. Shelley conveys the disorientation and overwhelming experience of coming into consciousness through vivid language that captures the protagonist's journey from obscurity to self-awareness.

Why do you think Macbeth avoids using the words murder or kill when talking about killing Duncan And what does this tell you about Macbeth's state of mind at this point?

Macbeth avoids using the words murder or kill because he is in denial and feels guilty about his plan to kill Duncan. He is suppressing his conscience and trying to rationalize his actions by using euphemisms. This reluctance to face the reality of his plan shows that Macbeth's state of mind is conflicted and troubled.
