please use this in the beginning and there must be 3 quotes from the play showing Light/dark imagery
Light/dark imagery has traditionally been incorporated into
art and literature to signify good and evil. Shakespeare dealt with the nature
of what constitutes good an evil in many of his works, but particularly in Macbeth.
Macbeth and lady macbeth make a drastic decision and allow their ambition to
take power. They cross the line from good to evil by killing king Duncan, and
pay with their humanity. As they cross this line they constantly crave darkness
to hide their evil deeds. In macbeth, a play by William Shakespeare, the
playwright employs light/dark imagery to portray the contrast between good and
evil and the dire consequences of crossing the line between them.
The
contrast is demonstrated as macbeth, a battle hero who is very familiar with
killing for his country now decides to kill for his own ambition. As he
prepares to murder Duncan, he and his wife crave darkness. (Shakespeare 24).
