What examples of sarcasm are in Macbeth?

Answer 1

Image and Irony are some examples of figurative devices on Macbeth, a playwright by William Shakespeare. In this line by a lady in Macbeth for example says: 'The raven himself is hoarse, the croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan' in which the word raven suggests a sensation in fixing the hones of those people who had been enforced and Duncan is going to his fate.

Answer 2

This act is brim-full to overflowing with metaphors, but very few similes, like secret spies, get into the text. "His gasht stabs lookt like a breach in nature for ruin's wasteful entrance" is as close as it gets, and even that has a personification in it.

Answer 3

One example of sarcasm in Macbeth is when Lady Macbeth responds to Macbeth's hesitation to murder Duncan by saying, "Infirm of purpose!/ Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead/Are but as pictures" (Act 2, Scene 2). This sarcastic remark implies that she sees no difference between killing a sleeping man and looking at a painting.

Answer 4

Here's one example: "blood will have blood" (Act 3, Scene 4, line 121); in other words, "a killing will be revenged by another killing."
