(William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”, Act II, Scene II)

“Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No. This my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.”

"Macbeth, the tragic hero, feels the unbearable prick of his conscience after killing the king. He regrets his sin and believes that even the oceans of the greatest magnitude cannot wash blood of the king off his hands. We can notice the use of hyperbole in the given lines as how effective it is."

("The Adventures of Pinocchio”, by C. Colloid)

“He cried all night, and dawn found him still there, though his tears had dried and only hard, dry sobs shook his wooden frame. But these were so loud that they could be heard by the faraway hills…”

"The crying of Pinocchio all night until his tears became dry is an example of Hyperbole."
