Animal Motifs in Macbeth
By Morgan Beck, Nikki Robinson, Jaime Whiteley
"And Duncan's horses... "Tis said they eat each other."
- effective, shows how wrong it was to kill Duncan
- if you do harmful deeds, something harmful will happen to you
"O, full of scorpions is my mind."
- effective, shows negative thoughts haunt his mind
- his mind is poisened by horrible actions he has done
"Toad, that under cold stone." "Eye of newt and toe of frog." "Wool of bat and tongue of dog."
- Effective. Shakespeare used animals in supernatural way to prove everything is not as it seems.
- Proves how crazy the witches are becuase of the weird items they put in their pot.
