What are the literary techniques in Macbeth's letter?

Question

I am writing about his ambition leading to his inability to see the negatives of the prophecy, what are the literary devices or techniques in this quote from his letter to lady macbeth?

"my dearest partner of greatness, that thou might’st not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. "

Answer 1

This quote contains examples of dramatic irony and a little foreshadowing. Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband in this story, and he is playing into her hand without realizing it in this quote. The quote also foreshadows that she will benefit from Macbeth 's actions in the story.
