Question

Which of the following best illustrates Shakespeare's use of foreshadowing in Macbeth?

a. Give me your favor; my dull brain was wrought.
b. Speak, if you can: what are you?
c. New honors come upon him.
d. Fair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Answer 1

I would say that D) Fair is foul and foul is fair - best illustrates Shakespeare's use of foreshadowing in Macbeth. It says what is going to happen - not all is what it seems.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Fair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Explanation:

The foreshadowing is used to indicate a future event. In Macbeth, the witches use the lines: "Fair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air." In Act IV, the witches were urged to make the second round of predictions, they suggest how Macbeth will be defeated in Act V.
