McB Act 3 Scenes 1-3

In this section of the play there is a pretty good mixture of the different kinds of imagery. On page 110, Banquo says "As the weird women promised" which is a common example throughout this play of strangeness. He is of course referring to the three witches. On page 112, MacBeth has some lines which have 3 kinds of imagery. "We hear our bloody cousins are bestowed" which is an example of injury, "with strange intervention" which is an example of strangeness and "Till you return at night" which is an example of darkness. When he is talking about his cousins, he is talking about the injuries they have recieved, and with the strange intervention it literally means just that. And of course we all associate night with darkness, which is third image in this monologue. On page 116, MacBeth says "to half a soul and to a notion crazed" which is an example of mental illness, and he is talking about madmen. Then on the same page, MacBeth says "Our point of second meeting" which is an example of double imagery. On page 118, the 1st murderer says "To mend it, or be rid on't" which is an example of sewing.
