Equivocation Where do we see equivocation in Macbeth and other works we read?
This question is based off of the doorman’s speech in Macbeth act 2 scene 3, where the doorman talks about how people guilty of “equivocation”will go to hell.
Equivocation is the intentional use of ambiguity, whether by a speaker or a listener, to say or interpret something ambiguous in a way favorable to themselves.
Where have Macbeth, Oedipus, Joe Keller, Creon, Antigone, Okonkwo, and others either said or understood something unclear in a way that was favorable to themselves while ignoring other possibilities? How have they equivocated about what was right?
