The function of imagery in the mid-sixteenth century play Othello by William Shakespeare is to aid characterisation and define meaning in the play. The antagonist Iago is defined through many different images‚ Some being the use of poison and soporifics‚ sleeping agents‚ to show his true evil and sadistic nature.

Imagery in Macbeth “Fair is foul and foul is fair.” The Witches‚ Act 1 Scene 1 I feel that this quote depicts an extremely powerful image of appearance verses reality. The witches are foul but they give fair advice. Macbeth may seem like the nation’s hero and posses all the qualities of kingship‚ but in reality he is a ruthless‚ power hungry dictator. As it is the last line of the first scene in the entire play‚ it is very powerful and sets the idea of foreshadowing events to come in the play
