What titles do the witches greet Macbeth with after the battle in Act 1? Why is the timing significant?

We need to understand who the witches are and what they represent overall to understand this scene better. Whenever the witches are shown in the play <em>Macbeth</em>, they are usually foreshadowing later events in the play. In the play, when the witches meet with Macbeth, they call him "Thane of Glamis," "Thane of Cawdor," and "king."

This scene is significant overall. Thane of Glamis is Macbeth's original title, so he anticipated being called that. However, he had not, at this point, received word of King Duncan's choice to name him Thane of Cawdor, so he is confused by this proclamation. He is also confused by being called king as they inform him he will one day be king.

It is during this scene that Macbeth is informed of his new title and he realizes that the witches have essentially told him his fortune. The timing of all this is very significant because it proves to Macbeth that what the witches tell him is true. Without this, it is unlikely that he would have believed the "prophecy" that they tell him of his future.

Answer:

Newspeak, doublethink, and The mutability of the past

Explanation:

1. Newspeak. Newspeak is the official language of all party members, as the purpose is to eliminate all thoughtcrime.

2. Doublethink. Doublethink is very common amongst the Party, and quoting from CliffNotes, “doublethink is the act of holding, simultaneously, two opposite, individually exclusive ideas or opinions and believing in both simultaneously and absolutely. Doublethink requires using logic against logic or suspending disbelief in the contradiction.” The three slogans inside the novel, “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength,” are all examples of doublethink.

3. The mutability of the past. As Orwell writes in the beginning chapters III and IV, Winston encounters in his memory that Oceania actually allianced with Eurasia and fought against Eastasia, yet all broadcasts of the party suggests that Oceania had always done the vice versa. Also, he and his comates have had no memory of Big Brother until very lately, yet documentations have stated that Big Brother has been influencing Oceania since the 1930s.

lianna [129]

As they reach a clearing, Lennie stops to drink from the river, and George warns him not to drink too much or he will get sick, as he did the night before.
