Famous people shakespeare

§ “So foul and fair a day I have not seen” (I:2 line 40);
This quote simply means that it's one of those days when fog is followed by sunshine, then a thunderstorm, some hail, and more sunshine. In other words nature is acting somewhat strange.
§ “My dull brain was wrought / With things forgotten” (I:3 line 174-175);
Macbeth makes the lying excuse that he was thinking about something so unimportant that he has already forgotten what it was. However, those things are far from forgotten.
§ “God's benison go with you, and with those/ That would make good of bad, and friends of foes!” (II:4 line 53-54).
The old man is giving a blessing to all those who would restore the goodness and bring peace to the troubled land. The old man knows that Scotland is going to end up in one big mess.
In Shakespeare's works we can find a lot of metaphor examples. In Macbeth:
§ “Fair is foul and foul is fair.” (I:1 line 10);
This phrase is a metaphor that describes the state of affairs within Macbeth and without in Scotland. Evil and sinister things have taken the place of all that is good and just. Macbeth is a tyrannous ruler who consorts with witches and “murders” sleep; the kind and venerable King Duncan and Banquo are brutally killed. In the midst of all of this, Inverness becomes a living hell for its inhabitants while Macbeth and his wife suffer from delusions and paranoia [23].
§ “The sleeping and the dead. Are but as pictures. Tis the eye of childhood. That fears a painted devil.” (II:2 line 52).
Lady Macbeth's comparison of the sleeping and the dead to “pictures” exemplifies her extraordinary courage and calm state of mind after the murder. Lady Macbeth should supposedly be faint-hearted because she is a woman; in reality, however, she and her husband have switched roles.
We can also find a metaphor in Hamlet [24].
§ “Yea, from the table of my memory
I'll wipe away all trivial, fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,
Unmixed with baser matter.” (II:5 lines 105-111);
Hamlet wants to wipe his memory clean, as one would erase a slate. All of the images he has of his mother and uncle are insignificant to him now in the face of their betrayal. He will erase those images in his memory so as to not be deceived again. With his memories erased, Hamlet will be able to properly avenge his father's murder.
Hamlet is talking to Fortinbras' captain about the land, which has been symbolically given to Norway to prevent them from invading Denmark. This statement is however, also descriptive of Hamlet's own condition. The events that have caused his madness fester inside him like an abscess or tumor. The cause is unseen by others though it is destroying him inside.
Consider the following examples from Shakespeare's sonnets that use the metaphor of eye (which also include the use of metonymy - a special type of metaphor where the one phrase or word substitutes for a larger concept):
Serving with looks his sacred majesty. (sonnet 7, lines 1-4);
