Macbeth 101

Dramatic irony: is when the audience knows something that the characters don't
Soliloquy: when the main character shares their feelings with the audience but they keep changing it and they finally end it with a heroic couplet.
The Fourth Wall: is when the main character talks to the audience like "Well, that was a funny..." Or "Wow I wasn't expecting that..." 
Heroic Couplet: at the end of a soliloquy, means a decision has been made or two lines in iambic pentameter that rhyme

"...Hear it not Duncan for its a knell 
That summons thee to heaven,
Or to hell..."

Shakespeare is the first author that has made us see what the character feels.

The Theme: "Power and Corruption"
