Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses."

Soliloquy:  
"Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be
What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great,
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, ..." 

Paradox:  "Fair is foul and foul is fair."

In the example of dramatic irony, the audience is aware of the fact that Duncan is walking into a scenario in which he will be killed. As Duncan is entirely oblivious to his fate which is so obvious to the audience/readers, it creates dramatic irony.

Soliloquy:
In the example of soliloquy, Lady Macbeth expresses her strong emotions when presented the idea of becoming Queen. Alone on the stage, she takes the spotlight in a manner which allows for her to place emphasis on the intense desire she has to assent to this power no matter if the consequences leave her alone.

Paradox:
The example of the paradox is not only used to portray the corrupted and purposefully contrasting speech of the three witches, but the self contracting statement of the witches is used in a sense which will display Macbeth's struggle to decide whether or not good intentions will matter if his path to achieve his destined outcome is good and worthy.

When at first he is only a warrior, he has no violent intentions beyond serving for his king. Yet, as Macbeth is rewarded a substantial role of authority, the sudden rush of power is accompanied by corrupt ideas of killing the King that has been good and loyal to, the King that he has fought so valiantly for. The article explains the way that throughout history it has been proven twice over that the psychological "need for power" is one of the three most basic drives of human ambition. A psychological need that continuously encourages one to take actions that they would not normally do in order to gain a higher stance of power. ]]> 2019-02-22 14:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/thayter5397/6slbuvs4e9ug/wish/334133197 Song: emily_shipman30 https://padlet.com/thayter5397/6slbuvs4e9ug/wish/334823602  The song I Just Can't Wait to Be King from The Lion King relates to Macbeth because the three witches tell Macbeth that he will become king one day and Macbeth is now looking forward to becoming royalty.]]> 2019-02-25 13:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/thayter5397/6slbuvs4e9ug/wish/334823602
