Weapon of choice: MSCE English series

Previously

…From the witches' first greeting to Macduff's triumphant entrance, nothing is wasted. The plot is a machine designed to show the wages of sin. For MSCE candidates, this understanding will help you appreciate not just what happens, but why it happens in that order. In the next chapter, we will explore one of the most powerful tools Shakespeare uses to bring this plot to life: his literary devices. From imagery of blood and darkness to the use of soliloquies, these devices enrich the story and deepen our understanding of character and theme. The plot may be the skeleton, but the literary devices give it flesh and blood.
