Metaphor is the use of words to directly compare to dissimilar things, qualities or persons. For example, <u>"John is a lion"</u> compares John directly to a lion.

Please note that your answer is incomplete, so I am giving you a general overview which should enable you get the correct answer.

Metaphor should not be confused for Simile, because even though they both make comparisons, simile uses "like" or "as" to convey the comparison, metaphor compares directly.

There are four types of metaphor which are: Standard, Implied, Visual and Extended Metaphor.

In this excerpt from act I, scene II, of Macbeth, what can be inferred from Banquo’s response to the witches’ prophecy?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Banquo's response to the witches' prophecy suggests that Banquo realizes that the witches represent evil.

While having a conversation with Macbeth (Act I, Scene 3), Macbeth tells Banquo that he should believe that his children will become kings, as they were promised so by the witches. Banquo replies that the whole thing about them is <em>strange</em>, implying that he would not be so certain about their good intentions. Banquo refers to the witches as <em>'the instruments of darkness'</em>, that partially tell people the truth in order to destroy them.
