Imagery consists of the use of symbols to convey an idea or create a specific atmosphere. Shakespeare uses imagery often in Macbeth; pathetic fallacy, blood, tailoring, and sleep are examples. His use of these devices in the play is to demonstrate Scotland's sadness at what has been done, the guilt of the characters and symbolize the premonition of the events. The pathetic fallacy is an imagery tool that is used in Macbeth to convey nature's response to the unnatural events that occur. Most of the scenes where evil events occur are set at night or in some kind of darkness. Macbeth's murder of Duncan occurs at night and triggers a response of outrage and grief in the country. The troubled actions of nature show us this; as Lennox tells Macbeth shortly before Duncan is found dead, "The night has been unruly; where we lay, or the chimneys have been knocked down... wails spread through the air... some say the ear was feverish and trembling ". (II (iii) L59) Another good example of imagery used is blood. It is used to convey guilt, murder, treachery, treachery, and evil. Macbeth, immediately after Duncan's murder, is concerned about the blood on his hands and states that no amount of water will wash away the blood, signifying the guilt in his heart. Lady Macbeth, however, states: "A little water cleanses us from this deed" (II(ii)L97). It is ironic that later in the play Lady Macbeth walks in her sleep and washes her hands dry, and says "What! Will these hands never be clean?" (V (i) L38) -- guilt for what he has done emerges in his sleep where none had been felt before, and the opposite is true of Macbeth. The use of tailoring to convey the idea that something is not suitable or does not belong to someone who has been acquired by them is used often in Macbeth. Macbeth himself uses sartorial imagery by saying, "The Lord of Cawdor lives: why do you clothe me in borrowed clothes?" (I (ii) L109) when Ross tells him that Duncan gave him the title Thane of Cawdor. This gives the impression that the newly acquired title does not fit him, just like a piece of clothing belonging to another person. Angus states: "Now he feels his title hanging around him, like a giant's robe
