English

In these lines, Macbeth explains his "fury" upon seeing the murder of Duncan. This fury led him to kill the guards.

He says that it was not possible for him to be wise, confused, calm, and furious all at once. He could not be both loyal and neutral. In that moment, his rage at finding Duncan so brutally murdered prevented him from thinking rationally. Therefore, he murdered the murderers immediately.

Of course, Macbeth is not being entirely honest. He murdered the guards so that the real murderer would not be caught. But this speech does add an interesting layer to his mindset at this time. 

The sight of Duncan's mutilated body moved Macbeth to confusion and violence. He is correct in saying that rage prevented him from thinking rationally and reasonably. Macbeth's guilt over his actions has led to a troubled mind.

Answer: to portray Huck’s father as uneducated and ignorant.

In this excerpt, Twain most likely uses humour to highlight the absurdity of the father's sentiment. This is done in order to portray Huck's father as uneducated and ignorant. The father tells Huck that he does not see the importance of school. Moreover, he thinks school is damaging because it will teach Huck to feel superior to his dad, who is unlikely to have attended school.
