Answer:
a.) Comic relief.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of Macbeth and his greed which led to his downfall. The play follows the rise and tragic downfall of Macbeth, infused with themes of betrayal, greed, murder, and self-interest.
The porter's speech in Act II scene iii of the play is a departure from the tragic scene that is to follow right after. The readers know King Duncan has been murdered but the other characters did not know that yet. When Macduff and Lennox knocked at the door and the porter pretended to be the doorkeeper of Hell, this scene provides comic relief to the otherwise tragic scene.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
In this passage, Machiavelli wants to demonstrate that cruelty is a necessary part of leadership. In order to do so, he uses the example of Scipio. Machiavelli tells us that Scipio is remembered for having been an exceptionally virtuous man. However, despite this fact, Scipio is remembered as an ineffective leader. Although he was capable of doing no wrong, he was not capable of correcting the wrongs of others. Machiavelli tells us that Scipio was a kind man, but an "easy" one, and that this led him to be an ineffective leader who did not earn enough respect from his soldiers due to his lack of cruelty.
Answer:
'Why do you read this book alone?' I was asked.
I stumbled and mumbled.
Julius Ceasar couldn´t have been more wounded
by this simple question, sharp as a killer´s knife.
Brutus, you?
My fictional world of silence was taken apart;
to read it aloud, how?
The book on my lap, it burned;
the flame of shame.
If I could, or would, should I share?
But to exist as a social being,
would I stop to exist as myself and me,
and crumble into a humble reader,
not being able to bare
the sight of others
in the campfire´s flare.
