• The motif of ”sleep“ in the metaphor “sleep no more!” emphasises the lost of that peace, as he reminisces sleep. - Macbeth
• The hyperbole in “a little water clears us of this deed” shows lady Macbeth trying to reassure macbeth that washing his hands will wash away their guilt of their murderous act - Lady Macbeth
• The aphorism expression in “what’s done is done” Is lady Macbeth compelling macbeth to move forward, as the adjective “done” has connotations of finality and irrevocability- Lady Macbeth
• The metaphor in “O full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!” to depict how his guilty conscience is attacking and stinging him.
• The repetition of "out" in the line "Out damned spot! Out, I say!" serves to emphasize Lady Macbeth's strong desire to remove the metaphorical spot of guilt from her conscience. - Lady macbeth
