In Shakespeare’s time people believed in witches. They were people who had made a pact with the Devil in exchange for supernatural powers. If your cow was ill, it was easy to decide it had been cursed. If there was plague in your village, it was because of a witch. If the beans didn’t grow, it was because of a witch. Witches might have a familiar – a pet, or a toad, or a bird – which was supposed to be a demon advisor. People accused of being witches tended to be old, poor, single women. It is at this time that the idea of witches riding around on broomsticks (a common household implement in Elizabethan England) becomes popular.
There are lots of ways to test for a witch. A common way was to use a ducking stool, or just to tie them up, and duck the accused under water in a pond or river. If she floated, she was a witch. If she didn’t, she was innocent. She probably drowned. Anyone who floated was then burnt at the stake. It was legal to kill witches because of the Witchcraft Act passed in 1563, which set out steps to take against witches who used spirits to kill people.
King James I became king in 1603. He was particularly superstitious about witches and even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth especially to appeal to James – it has witches and is set in Scotland, where he was already king. The three witches in Macbeth manipulate the characters into disaster, and cast spells to destroy lives. Other magic beings, the fairies, appear in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Elizabethans thought fairies played tricks on innocent people – just as they do in the play.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest is that</em><u><em> it helps the reader understand the relationship between self-doubt and failure. </em></u>
<em>The correct answer is</em><u><em> option D. </em></u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Guest newly defines the word “can’t.” He calls it the father of feeble endeavour. He also addresses it as a parent of terror and half-hearted work. Can’t is the word that starts with self-doubt which leads to failure. Can’t means to give up. This is what the metaphor is trying to explain to the readers. It clearly aids us to understand the failure and the self-doubt present within ours.
