Riassunto

Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 21

From this I think it is pretty clear that breech was more or less current (perhaps current only as an affectation) in the sense of cover over,' (of the mind, 'becloud') the original sense being, no doubt, cover as with breeches.' The passage from Pettie's translation, therefore, confirms the usual interpretation to the extent that Macbeth means covered with gore, but disposes of the assumption that Shakespeare invents a fantastic metaphor for the occasion. It may be that he makes Macbeth use an affected expression.
