Answer:
Roderick Usher is convinced that the inanimate universe is full of "sentience," that seemingly dead objects or matter, such as the "atmosphere" he describes encircling his home, are endowed with senses and perhaps even life of their own. When Poe introduces this concept, it seems almost a digression.
Explanation:
In the lines 1 from 18, Macbeth is very rude with the servant and he didn't believe what the servant says anymore. He also continuously insults the servant when he says, “Go... thy face and over... , / Thou lily-livered boy. What soldiers, patch? /... Those linen cheeks of thine / Are counselors to fear. What soldiers, whey-face” which are in lines 14-17. Also, Macbeth depicts the servant as a coward and a clown. Hope this helps.
