Review Malcolm’s last speech in act v, scene 8. How are his words and echo of Duncans language earlier in the play? How does thi

Eva8 [605]

Duncan addresses the crowd with "sons, kinsmen, thanes" (1.4), and in his final speech Malcolm repeats the greeting by saying "my thanes and kinsmen" (5.8), the echoing of this address shows that Malcolm holds the same level of respect and care for his people as his father did. He welcomes everyone into his speech--as Duncan did earlier--and makes it clear that he appreciates and respects each of them by increasing their titles. Duncan in the beginning similarly showed his appreciation to Macbeth, Banquo, and Malcolm--by giving more titles to Macbeth, jewels to Banquo, and the title of "Prince of Cumberland" to Malcolm. The way that they handle the traitor (the Thane of Cawdor first and then Macbeth at the end) also is similar. They make it clear that they had trusted those men, but that those who fell into their evil or ran from them will not be punished. This shows more of how caring and kind they are in their position as king.

Malcolm's speech unifies the play in a couple of ways. Thematically we get to see that theme of power, ambition, and fate vs free will come full circle. Malcolm was named next for the throne, and then Macbeth derailed that through the course of the play by trying to take his fate into his own hands. Malcolm's speech as he becomes king shows that his position was inevitable and that power and ambition can only get a character so far before he falls. King was always going to be Malcolm's fate, it just took longer for that to happen.

The poem songs of spavinaw

timurjin [86]

Explanation:

The poem "songs of Spavinaw" by Ruth Muskrat Bronson reads;

Stanza one

"I am the river of Spavinaw,

I am the river of pain;

Sadness and gladness must answer my law;

Measure for measure I give, and withdraw

Back through the hills of the Spavinaw,

Hiding away from the plain."

Stanza Two

"I am the river of Spavinaw;

I sing the songs of the world;

Dashing and whirling, swishing and swirling,

Delicate, mystical, silvery spray hurling,

Sing I the songs of the world,

The passionate songs of the world.

I sing of laughter and mirth, "

Stanza Three

"And I laugh in a gurgle of glee

As the myriad joys of the earth

Trip through the light with me.

Gay shallows dimple, sparkle and ripple.

Like songs that a lover would sing,

Skipping in moonlight,

Tripping in moonlight,

Whispering echoes of spring."

Stanza Four

"And again

I move with the slow sadness of pain.

In my dark blue deep, where the shadows creep,

I catch up life’s sorrows and mirror them back again.

And my song is a throbbing, pitiful sobbing,

Choked by an agonized pain."

Stanza Five

"And then

I move forth toward the beckoning north,

And I sing of the power of men.

As I dash down my falls,

As I beat at my walls

Frantically fighting, running and righting,

All through the flood, through the snarling and biting,

I sing of the power of men,

Of the hurry and power of men."

Stanza Six

"I am the river of Spavinaw,

I am the giver of pain;

Sadness and gladness must answer my law;

Measure for measure I give, and withdraw

Back through the hills of the Spavinaw,

Hiding away from the plain."
