In literature, 'reposit' is used metaphorically to describe a place or state of peace, rest, or contemplation. For instance, in Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', Lady Macbeth says, 'My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white.' She then says, 'Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-piece With direst cruelty! Make thick my blood, Stop the passage of the light in my veins, That I may dream and not see thee!' (Act I, Scene V). This passage illustrates Lady Macbeth's intense desire to commit murder and her request for the spirits to help her do so. The phrase 'unsex me here' can be interpreted as a metaphorical 'reposit' where Lady Macbeth seeks to leave her feminine nature behind in order to commit the heinous act.
