Which part of this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Macbeth uses apostrophe?

Sagot :

This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find them online. However, since they are too long to post here, I have attached them.

Answer:

The excerpt in which Shakespeare uses apostrophe is the first one.

Explanation:

The figure of speech known as apostrophe happens when an author or character addresses an inanimate object, a dead person, or someone who is absent. In the first excerpt (which can be found in the attachment), the speaker is addressing an inanimate object - a dagger (thy blade). At this point, Macbeth seems to be hallucinating, perhaps consumed with the guilt of knowing he is going to commit murder. He thinks he sees a bloody dagger before him, and begins to talk to the object.

"Macbeth" is a tragic play by English playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
