Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is an example of

direct characterization? I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance. He roused up and gave me good-day. I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley — Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley — a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. I added, that, if Mr. Wheeler, could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him. Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.

Which translation of the passage best explains Macbeth's reasoning for not murdering Duncan?
lina2011 [118]

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. Macbeth of being made Thane of Cawdor, he writes to his wife about it and that what he has been tempted by the three weird sisters. Being excited about being king, also he is disturbed by "New honors" and the working of the supernatural world where "Nothing is/But what is not."

Macbeth deliberates about killing Duncan in scene 7.

<em>"If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well</em>

<em>It were done quickly...</em>

<em>But this blow</em>

<em>Might be the be-all and end-all--here,</em>

<em>But, here, upon this bank and shoal of time,</em>

<em>We'd jump the life to come..."</em>

Thing that Macbeth is concerned about is regicide being a serious crime and a grievous offense. It can upset the Chain of Being, for whom the king was God's deputy on earth. Macbeth is reluctant to kill King Duncan and he is host to the king and should prevent from any kind of harm to the king. In a fear of being punished by heaven to kill a king who is virtuous, Macbeth decides not to murder Duncan and concludes it as his "vaulting ambition."

Therefore, the passage which best explains Macbeth's reasoning for not murdering Duncan is B.Duncan is such a good and popular king; it would be cruel to kill him and make the country sad.
