OVERVIEW OF DECEPTION
IN THE PLAY
Deception is seen multiple times in the story of Macbeth
• Many characters betray each other within this book

witches deceived Macbeth

• The character which portrayed the theme of deception the most
was Macbeth

DISCUSSION OF SOME
LANGUAGE TECHNIQUES
Many language techniques have been used throughout the play Macbeth.
• Symbolism: The spots of blood on Lady Macbeths hands that she dreamed
of were symbolic of her guilt.
• Metaphors : Lady Macbeth quotes "Look like the innocent flower but be the
serpent under it" to Macbeth. Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to be evil on
the inside and look innocent. “Fair is foul and foul is fair” is also another
good saying in which shows that everything may not be as it seems
• Irony : Lady Macbeth takes part in Duncan's murder with no hesitation and
She tells Macbeth of for being weak when he begins to hallucinate.
However, at the end she is the one feeling guilt.
DECEPTION IN ACT 1
• “Fair is foul and foul is fair” is a important line relating to
deception

Scotland

saying another word, they lead them on.
• Banquo is nervous about what the witches didn’t tell him

king

of this act and so she decides to persuade him and act deceitful
DECEPTION IN ACT 2

and acts very two sided towards him,
• Macbeth murders King Duncan whilst
at Dunsinane, his own castle
• Macbeth and Lady Macbeth frame
the kings guards. Macbeth feels guilty
for this and Lady Macbeth says
"Things without all remedy should be
without regard: what's done is done."
• They trick the whole of Scotland into
believing this is true and due to this
Macbeth is crowned king
DECEPTION IN ACT 3
• In act 3 of the play, Macbeth is once again being deceptive
• He pretends to be loyal to his best friend Banquo but plans to
have him and his son Fleance murdered.
• He does this because he wants to gain more power and make
sure no one will get in his way.
• Being deceptive leads to a bad ending as Malcolm and Macbeth
plan defeat Macbeth
DECEPTION IN ACT 4

MacDuff
• These lead him on and trick him, as they also refuse to give him a fourth
prophecy. They again vanish
• Lady MacDuff is disappointed that her husband is leaving and she states
how she believes the world is evil
• Macbeth then deceives the whole of MacDuff’s family by attacking and
murdering them
“I have done no harm. But I remember now, I am in this earthly world,
Where to do harm is often laudable, to do good sometime accounted
dangerous folly.”

WHAT IS UNIVERSAL ABOUT THE DECEPTION?
HOW CAN WE USE IT IN OUR LIVES
Throughout Macbeth things are not always as they seem. Deception
in the play is always present just like it is in reality.
• People seem to be good in their appearance, but in reality, they
might have dark secrets that they want to hide from everyone
else.
• People sometimes act different to the reality and pretend to be
someone else for their own benefit
• In the play Macbeth clearly shows how living a life of deceit will
ultimately end in disaster.
