In <em>Macbeth's </em>Act 1 Scene 1, both Banquo and Macbeth wonder (D) whether the prophecy about Banquo is true.
In the Royal Palace, Banquo thinks about the prophecy of the witches. At the beginning of the play, the sisters had foretold that he would become the father of a line of kings, but they had also predicted that Macbeth would become Thane of Cawdor, which immediately came true. For this reason, Macbeth fears he will not have a heir to the throne and also wonders about the possibility of Banquo's line to sit on the throne in his soliloquy, where he confesses to feel threatened by his friend.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a poem by one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American poetry, William Carlos Williams, first published in Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems in 1962. The poem is a work of ekphrasis—writing about a piece of visual art—and is part of a cycle of 10 poems inspired by the paintings of 16th-century artist Pieter Bruegel (or Brueghel) the Elder. Both Bruegel's painting and this poem depict the death of Icarus, the mythological figure who died after flying too close to the sun, in a rather unusual way: in both works, Icarus's death—caused by a fall from the sky after the wax holding his artificial wings together melted—is hardly a blip on the radar of the nearby townspeople, whose attention is turned instead toward the rhythms of daily life. Tragedy is thus presented as a question of perspective, something that depends on how close one is (literally and emotionally) to the event in question.
She began The Outsiders at the age of fifteen, inspired by her frustration with the social divisions in her high school and the lack of realistic fiction for high .
