One example of dramatic irony comes when the old soothsayer visits the King. Oedipus ridicules the man because he's blind, and Tiresias in a fit of anger tells the king that though he can see he is "blind" to the truth. When Oedipus becomes blind, he finally realizes the truth of the man's words. Irony is also to be found in the fact that it is the blind man who truly sees.

Oedipus confesses what really happens. Oedipus said that he lashed out in rage, because the driver of Lauis's charriage forced him off the road or tried to and he lashed out and killed thme all but the servant said it was a group of theives, because Oedipus actually killed Lauis. This is ironic, because Oedipus confessed what really happened to Lauis.

How might Macbeth be considered a superior or privileged person?
butalik [34]

Answer:

As the play opens he has just proved himself a superior soldier in battle. He is already a lord, but his performance on the battle field wins him the new title of Thane of Cawdor.

One of the oddities of the play is that he is married to a woman (now Lady Macbeth) who has had children, but Macbeth has no children. The Scottish Lord upon whom Macbeth is based was married to a woman who was older than he. Presumably the Macbeth of the play must have gained some additional wealth and/or advantage through the marriage to a woman who enjoyed some position. Since the King was invited to stay at Macbeth’s castle we can assume he had the advantage of some wealth and prestige.

Explain what the quote means in your own words
lyudmila [28]
To me, it just means that the older you get you do get closer to your death but you also experience new things that make you get comfortable with dying so you might as well be happy and live fully while you can and not think about you getting closer to dying.
