Shakespeare establishes a presumptuous tone in Macbeth’s dialogue through diction in order to portray how Macbeth had put on airs due to his skewed perspectives. His arrogance is rooted deep early on in his talk of “duties” (I.iv.24) when addressing a king, who ranks higher in status, yet he finds it in him to remind the “highness” of his “part” without fear of going out of line (I.iv.23).
