    Not the best idea to go too mad with colourful and frivolous words and phrases.

    All that will happen is you will be trying too hard to find an oppertunity to use them, and will get side tracked, or end up with some overly complicated sentance that doesn't make much sense.

    The best thing is to stick to what you know and let it flow...

    nihilistic (spiritually dead)

    Spiritually dead is bit harsh!

    I'd class myself as a nihilist, but would I use the term DEAD! :eek: Not quite

    The witches are the corporeal form of Macbeth's "vaulting ambition".

    Is akin to deicide(= the murder of God) in the play Macbeth as the King is God's representative on Earth

    just make a list of words you use alot- evil, supernatural, powerful, etc. and type them into thesaurus.com and they'll give you different words so you're not repeating the same one all the time. good luck!

    however


    after all, all the same, anyhow, be that as it may, but, despite, for all that, howbeit, in spite of, nonetheless, notwithstanding, on the other hand, per contra, though, withal, without regard to, yet

    check out the soliloquies that reveal,poetically,the tortured mind of a murderer.Macbeth is aware of the horrific consequences;there is no going back;he will wade deeper and deeper in blood and his mind will not rest.He will be engulfed in blood and guilt.See for eg.ACT 2 SC2 lines61:" Will all great Neptune's oceans wash this blood.....from my hand?NO,this my hand will rather/The MULTITUDINOUS SEAS INCARNADINE/MAKING THE GREEN ONE RED.

    :D That word always makes me reminds me of the Simpsons:

    "You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1."

    Macbeth has the traits of a man with erectile dysfunction... He finds it hard to rise to the occasion and Compares himself to a bear, while he really is puny.
