Sc. 1, Lines 97–105: What text reflects Macbeth’s ego and ambition?

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.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Macbeth says that may the forested areas never ascend until "high-set Macbeth...live the rent of nature." Here, Macbeth is stating that he foresees himself as king, dying a characteristic demise (likely of maturity). His inner self and desire daze him to some other plausibility.

Which of the following is an example of direct characterization?
nikdorinn [45]

The correct answer is 3. You look like Negro Chinese.

Direct characterization means that a character is described directly - the author is explicitly telling us what a particular character is like or looks like. So, the only option that fits this description is 3. The other options are examples of indirect characterization.

Wole Sooyinka in Death and the Kings horseman?<br><br><br>​
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Death and the King's Horseman isn't just about a clash of cultures—it's also about a clash of religions. Yoruba spirituality and Elesin's attempts to confront mortality and the afterlife are very much at the heart of the story, and Soyinka himself sees the spiritual dilemmas that the play presents as the key thing going on. The play definitely prompts us to think about different religions and customs and how they intersect and clash, dropping references to Islam and Christianity as well as lots of discussion of Yorubam religious practices.

Explanation:

By showing the richness of Yoruba traditions while simultaneously failing to show the British characters actively engaged in any kind of religion, Soyinka suggests the emptiness of British customs and religion.
