MACBETH : AN EXPRESSION OF SHAKESPEARE’S IMAGINATION IN FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
Keywords:
Abstract
: Irrefutable unconventionality sets Macbeth in a specified category from the other tragedies of Shakespeare as it is wheeled on expensive imagination and is ornamented with peculiar literary sources. Although Shakespeare inhibits his interest in the spiritual and ethical aspects of his characters than in the political consequences of the tyranny which are delineated but not emphatically accentuated. In Macbeth, he crafts two characters contrastingly who depart each other by their uniformity and disparity. Both are miscreant and reprobate, targeting at the same spot; both have to overpower their innate hostility and both suffer the consequence of their immorality and wickedness. But both are divergently unlike in terms of their embark on the problems and situations and set apart form each other in their deviated ends. Hence both explore themselves similar but dissimilar to each other. Sometimes, it gives the impression that Macbeth is a tragedy of character but here, Shakespeare is emphatically intent on the exploration of depths of inner psyche below the level of physical virtues of character.References
