Sc. 1, Lines 97–105: What text reflects Macbeth’s ego and ambition?
neonofarm [45]
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 4, scene 1, lines 97-105, Macbeth receives three apparitions which provide him with three pieces of a prophecy (1- Beware of Macduff, 2- Macbeth cannot be harmed by someone born form a woman, 3- Macbeth will not be defeated until the Birnam Wood walks to Dusinane Hill). After hearing this prophecy, he feels pleased and safe to know that he will be king until the day he dies (lines 103-105: <em>"... Macbeth</em><em>Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath To time and mortal custom."</em>). However, he is still eager to know if Banquo and his offspring will reign eventually (lines 105-108: <em>Yet my heart Throbs to know one thing. Tell me, if your art can tell so much: shall Banquo’s issue ever Reign in this kingdom?</em>). This goes to show that he didn't feel like he had enough with knowing he would be king for his entire life, he also had to know that Banquo would not reign. This shows how irrationally ambitious and egotistical he had become.

Differentiate solid materials when bent and when pressed, pls help me!
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

 When pressing a solid material it can take a different shape or change in size, however when bending a solid material this does not happen.

Explanation:

Solid state materials at a certain temperature are characterized by:

  • present a high cohesion between the molecules that form it (the particles are united by very high attractive forces that make them remain almost fixed)
  • have a constant shape and volume often forming characteristic geometric structures such as crystalline structures
  • they are incompressible
  • are resistant to fragmentation
  • they do not have fluidity because the particles can only vibrate around fixed positions

A flexible material cannot be molded and only accepts shape changes when bending.

You do not get new materials when pressing a solid material.
