Using a symbol that is not obvious in the story, how would you make a visual representation of Macbeth? The representation needs to be a visual essay with a thesis.

This is an intriguing question! I think you need to determine whether you are attempting to represent the entire story of Macbeth or simply a salient aspect of the story. If you want to represent the whole thing, consider the arc of the play and how you might describe that arc in one sentence. For instance:

A good man is corrupted by his ambitions. Macbeth's desire to be king leads him to commit a heinous act and then to double-down on his crime, in order to protect his new position.

A good man is corrupted by the promise of power. Macbeth was perfectly happy being Duncan's thane until the Weird Sisters suggested that he could have a better life—in this way, Macbeth is not unlike Eve in the Garden of Eden, with the Weird Sisters functioning in the role of the Serpent, tempting a good person to transgress for the promise of "something more."

A good man destroys his life chasing a mirage. Macbeth does not benefit from his crimes and ruins both his own life and the lives of those around him as he tries to achieve the benefit the Weird Sisters seemed to offer him in their prophecies.
Salient aspects of the play include the unsettling meetings with the Weird Sisters on the moor; the murder of King Duncan, who died in his sleep at the hands of his most loyal thane; the madness of Lady Macbeth, who "sold her soul" to make her husband king and lost her mind paying that price; and the ghost of Banquo at the feast, haunting Macbeth with reminders of his crimes.
You can extract some great symbolism from those aspects. The Weird Sisters, for instance, could be represented by any kind of triptych—for example, three standing stones, three trees, three will-o'-the-wisps. Duncan could be a crown, and Lady Macbeth, a pair of bloodied hands clasping each other. Banquo is Macbeth's guilty conscience, and he appears at the feast not so much as an uninvited guest, but as someone who should be present, and isn't. You could show a place setting with Banquo's name on it, at which no one is sitting.
A great format for the kind of thing you're looking to do is collage, because you can bring in various images and align them however you feel makes most sense: for instance, side-by-side, overlapping, or as a central image surrounded by others. There's tremendous scope for creativity here. Decide what your thesis is—the explanation behind your "visual essay," so that viewers understand what they're looking at—and then decide on your imagery. This sounds like a great assignment, so good luck!

How does Bilbo show leadership and courage in The Hobbit?

Bilbo’s increase in confidence and courage is the defining aspect of his character arc. At the beginning of the novel, he is shut away content in his Hobbit hole, happy to remain separate and coddled from the rest of the world. In the movie, Bilbo chooses to join the dwarves on their quest out of a sense for adventure. In the book, however, Bilbo wants nothing to do with them and only joins because he had been duped into signing a contract. Despite being on the adventure somewhat against his will, Bilbo still proves himself time and again, saving the dwarves from the spiders, the trolls, and a number of other dangers they encounter along the way. Bilbo’s character arc has even been cited as a sort of Christian metaphor for the growth of the soul, though how much Tolkien intended on this front is up for debate. From a thematic standpoint, the ring of invisibility also plays into Bilbo’s brand of bravery. If Hobbits are the overlooked creatures of Middle Earth, then it is noteworthy that...

What was the effect of World War II on African Americans?

According to historians John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., more than three million black men registered for the Selective Service. However, they were refused at a rate of 18.2 percent, compared to just 8.5 percent for whites.  Discrimination was rampant in the armed forces, though black soldiers had more opportunities than in the First World War. They were included in the infantry, the coast and field artillery, the engineer corps, the medical corps, and many other branches. When the Women's Army Corps was organized (WAC), black women were included. By the end of the war, more than 4,000 women had enlisted in the organization. The next step was to get black soldiers recommended for advanced training at officer training schools. Blacks were not admitted to officer training schools in high numbers until the Secretary of War issued an order stating that blacks were to be admitted. The integration of the military began in 1945, first on the war front in Germany. In 1948, sever...

How is Jack in William Golding's The Lord of the Flies presented as militaristic?

Jack, who has red hair that symbolizes his association with blood, constantly carries a knife around with him. He is responsible for hunting, and when he at first fails to kill a pig, "he snatched his knife out of the sheath and slammed it into a tree trunk" (page 31). As the novel goes on, Jack becomes increasingly more violent, and his knife is often withdrawn from his sheath. He relies on violence to increase his power. Jack resents Piggy's intelligence, and he wants to rid Piggy of his glasses, the symbol of Piggy's learning. For example, when the boys are lighting a fire in the hope of being rescued, Jack says, "His specs--use them as burning glasses!" (page 40). Jack prefers to use Piggy's glasses to make a fire than to allow Piggy, the resident intellectual, to see. Later, Jack, constantly seen with a spear in hand and often bloodied from hunting, gives up all attempts to be rescued. Instead, he uses his violence, symbolized by the spear, to take ...
