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.

melomori [17]
Hello,
    David is thinking about his quest for manhood, which he connects with owning a gun. Because he is “almost a man,” he believes that he should own the symbol of manhood: a gun. Borrowing a mail-order catalog from a local store owner so that he can look at the pictures of revolvers, David becomes obsessed with thoughts of guns, becoming a man, and, most important, the strategy that he must use to persuade his mother that he should be able to buy a gun. A real man doesn't need a gun.

Answer:

1) Anna is a dog and is a beautiful girl.

2) The dog is funny. (It could be either one but this one is more in relation to the first sentence)

3) My mom cooks the pizza (

Explanation:

1) I am assuming that the first two sentences are related and also people don't normally have two descriptors in the same sentence that mean the same thing. Dog is the best option

2) Because we called the dog a beautiful girl in the first sentence I'm guessing we wouldn't also describe her as crazy. Crazy is more used when a dog has a lot of energy and does really weird things.

3) People do not eat rats and people do not cook them
