You might like to examine a scene such as Act I scene 2 and
focus on the literary devices that this scene contains. One of the notable examples of literary
devices is the way that the Captain reports the deeds of Macbeth in battle and how he is compared
to various things to emphasise his valour, bravery and skill in warfare. Note the following
examples of similes:

Doubtful it stood;

As two
spent swimmers, that do cling together

And choke their
art.

Here the Captain describes the
fight between the two sides and how close it was, comparing the armies to two exhausted swimmers
who can not beat the other because of their fatigue. However, it is Macbeth, who enters "like
Valour's minion" who wins the day and tips the balance of the
battle.

These are some of the examples of literary devices in this
scene, but there are plenty of others, so hopefully now that I have shown you what you are
looking for you can go back and identify other examples of literary devices in Act I. Good
luck!
