Why is Macbeth's demand on the doctor ironic in act 5 scene 3?

English

vazorg [7]3 years ago

Answer: Because Lady Macbeth is not sick, she is feeling guilty because of the murders she and Macbeth committed. The doctor can do nothing about it.

Explanation:

Upon hearing the Three witches' prophecy that he would become a king, Macbeth and his wife devise a plan to make it happen. Macbeth murders king Duncan and Banquo, which makes him haunted by guilt. He does become a king, but his life is far different from what he hoped for. Even Lady Macbeth, who had the initiative at the beginning of the play and convinced Macbeth to 'do the deed', gradually becomes weak and frightened. She starts to sleepwalk, see blood on her hands and claims that she will never be able to wash it.

In <em>Act 5, Scene 3</em>, Macbeth demands that the doctor cures her of her delusions. This demand is ironic, in that it is not possible. Lady Macbeth is simply consumed by guilt and is not feeling well because of it. No doctor will ever be able to cure her from her guilt. Macbeth is concerned both because the enemy is getting closer and because of his wife's state of mind, therefore, he cannot accept that his problems are not to be solved over night. He blames the doctor for being unable to help Lady Macbeth, while, in fact, it is only their fault that their plan did not meet their expectations.

Answer:the correct verb is appears, the subjects are pigeons and building or science building

Explanation:Why I chose appears is because it makes more sense I don’t really know how to explain it. Why didn’t say several large pigeons together is because several large aren’t really subjects, they’re more like adjectives;describing. I don’t really know about the science building because well it might not be a subject because the pigeons are the main ones and I don’t know if it’s science building or just building because science basically tells what the building is. Hope that helps you.

Bayous and swamps are not typically the subject of poetry about nature why might that be?
skad [1K]
This might be the case due to the lack of beauty they possess. Bayous and swamps typically are dirty, and are filled with insects. Many people would find that as a low standard of beauty.

Which question most likely will follow this article?
MissTica

The question that is most likely to follow this article is How is the European Union helping end antiziganism? (option a).

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>

The article talks mainly about the origin and development of the Romani culture and its importance in European and North American society through time and the challenges they have had to face as a community.

In the final part of the text he talks about the measures that the European Union has taken to avoid discrimination against this community and its purpose to guarantee their rights. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some information missing. Here is the information:

A. How is the European Union helping end antiziganism?

B. Why are the Romani descended from Egyptians?

C. What are the Roma words for "Hello" and "Goodbye"?

D. How do gypsy fortune tellers read the future?

Here's the article:

The Romani

The Romani, as they prefer to be called, are a diverse ethnic group spread throughout Europe and now North America. Some people call them “gypsies,” but that term is generally considered to be politically incorrect. Members of the Roma ethnic group enjoy a rich history and deep culture dating back thousands of years. They speak their own language, although they learn the languages ​​of their native countries as well. The Roma culture is traditionally nomadic, but following World War II, most Romani have settled down and become a part of their local communities.

Because other cultures have long seen the Romani as outsiders, the Romani people have been treated as second-class citizens as far back as the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, they have been incorrectly thought to be witches and thieves, misconceptions that continue even to modern day. In the past, Romani have been banned by kings or forced to live in ghettos. They suffered at the hands of the Third Reich during the Holocaust, and more than a million were murdered in concentration camps.

In the past, the Romani migrated with other European groups west across Europe and then into North America. Wherever European cultures have gone, the Romani have gone as well. Today, they come from a variety of backgrounds. Because of “antiziganism,” or the persecution of Roma culture, Romani often struggle in lower class neighborhoods and are sometimes monitored by law enforcement agencies because of the belief the Romani are thieves. In other countries, Romani enjoy comfortable, middle-class lifestyles free from persecution. As the European Union grows closer together, rights and privileges for Rome are improving.
