Macbeth 8.3

Do now: In Act 5.2, Shakespeare uses clothing imagery to describe Macbeth: “Some say he’s mad; others that lesser hate him/ Do call it valiant fury, but for certain/ He cannot buckle his distempered cause/ Within the belt of rule,” and “ Now does he feel his title/ Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe/ Upon a dwarfish thief.” On a piece of blank paper, draw one of these images.  Then right 1-2 sentences explaining why you think Shakespeare uses clothing imagery for these moments.  (independently. 10 minutes)
