References to darkness and disease are used frequently in Macbeth. Shakespeare also uses opposite words and ideas to show that this is a play with many conflicts. Examples of this are the use of ‘fair’ and ‘foul’ or ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’. For more on language and imagery, you could try the podcast at: http://www.gcsepod.co.uk/subjects/englis… Hope this helps!
