MACBETH - CHIASMUS, HYPERBOLE, SYNECDOCHE, EUPHEMISM

Hi Farwah7 - This should have uploaded as a two-page doc with 'Euphemism' included? If not please contact and I can email you - invincicom at g mail dot com and I will email you no problem.<br /> Additional page should read:<br /> <br /> EUPHEMISM<br /> LADY MACBETH: “To beguile the time,<br /> Look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye,<br /> Your hand, your tongue. Look like th’ innocent flower,<br /> But be the serpent under ’t. He that’s coming<br /> Must be provided for; and you shall put<br /> This night’s great business into my dispatch,<br /> Which shall to all our nights and days to come<br /> Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.”<br /> Among all of the new words that William Shakespeare coined, he also used and created many euphemism examples. In this excerpt from his tragedy Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is counselling her husband, Macbeth, to kill Duncan that very evening. This is clearly a delicate subject, as they are conspiring to murder the king. Therefore, Lady Macbeth does not say outright that Macbeth must kill Duncan, but instead that Duncan “must be provided for.” Macbeth understands her euphemism, and knows that she wants Duncan dead by the morning.<br />
