Answer:

A famous example of a hyperbole is Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

Macbeth determines that "all of the water in the ocean could not wash the blood from his hands, and, if he tried to wash his hands in the ocean, he would turn the seas red." Here, the hyperbole tells us how the murder weighs on Macbeth's conscience
