Act III Scene IIContext: This is the scene in which Lady Macbeth remains calm, and tries to make sure Macbeth is in a good mmod before the banquet. Macbeth, on the other hand is feeling terrible about the crimes he"s committed and is in turmoil. Language: Macbeth compares the people he"s killed with a snake. This metaphor is quite a large one, and lasts for several lines. "O! full of scorpions is my mind..." Shakespeare tries to show what Macbeth is going through with this image. There is much contrasting language in this scene as Macbeth uses harsh words and...
be once he kills Duncan. This soliloquy is near the beginning and is important to building up to the climax in the play, and Shakespeare wrote it perfectly. It flows well, and makes me want to hearread more.

In conclusion, the way the soliloquy was written, where it was placed in the play, the incredible imagery and diction, and the overall moodtone along with the atmosphere it creates, makes it one of the best soliloquies I have ever read. Also, although Shakespeare"s diction is quite different than today"s English, it is quite clear what is meant by this soliloquy.
