4. Discussion of some language techniques
Many language techniques have been used throughout the play Macbeth. • Symbolism: The spots of blood on Lady Macbeths hands that she dreamed of were symbolic of her guilt. • Metaphors : Lady Macbeth quotes "Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it" to Macbeth. Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to be evil on the inside and look innocent. “Fair is foul and foul is fair” is also another good saying in which shows that everything may not be as it seems • Irony : Lady Macbeth takes part in Duncan's murder with no hesitation and She tells Macbeth of for being weak when he begins to hallucinate. However, at the end she is the one feeling guilt.

10. What is universal about the deception? How can we use it in our lives
Throughout Macbeth things are not always as they seem. Deception in the play is always present just like it is in reality. • People seem to be good in their appearance, but in reality, they might have dark secrets that they want to hide from everyone else. • People sometimes act different to the reality and pretend to be someone else for their own benefit • In the play Macbeth clearly shows how living a life of deceit will ultimately end in disaster.
