Metaphor

Act 3,

Scene 4

Lines 74-76

An explanation of the “maws of kites” metaphor in Act 3, Scene 4 of myShakespeare’s Macbeth.

Macbeth

If charnel-houses and our graves must send

Those that we bury back, our monuments

Shall be the maws of kites.

In this metaphor, Macbeth compares the tombs (monuments) that once held dead bodies that now walk the earth as ghosts (Banquo) to the mouths of vultures, which have vomited up the rotten carcasses they have eaten.
