The answer is: it is about evolution.

Darwin himself characterized his seminal book, On the origin of the species, as “one long argument”. There is still debate as to what exactly did he mean by that characterization, but it is agreed upon that he evidently was referencing his theory of evolution based on common ancestry between species and natural selection as the process of differentiation between them, which, all in all, tells a story that took millions of years, or, in more poetic terms, it summarizes a very long argument.

Most likely because it presents an opinion supported by reasons. On the Origin of Species is the paper in which Darwin presents his theory of macroevolution and the reasons he has for postulating it.

Why did Lady Macbeth Collapse when she heard the death of Duncan?

Dafna11 [192]

Hope this helps. Lady Macbeth may actually faint in astonishment that her husband has killed the guards in an act that was not part of their plan in murdering Duncan. She could be shocked that he has acted so boldly when she had to question his manhood in order to provoke him to kill the king. On the other hand, she may be faking.
