Answer:

Apostrophe is a literary device where the speaker addresses someone dead or absent, or a non-human object as if they are present before the speaker.

Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,

Or else worth all the rest: I see thee still;

And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,

Which was not so before. There's no such thing:

It is the bloody business which informs

Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld

Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse

In this one Macbeth talks about dagger under the name of thy blade, here we have a third party in the scene. Therefore this is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:
