Read the passage. MACBETH. … all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a

walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing. What is the main idea of this famous speech from Act V of The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare? Macbeth is gathering his strength for the battle that is to come. Macbeth is realizing that all of his striving for power has been for nothing. Macbeth is expressing concern about the upcoming battle. Macbeth is refusing to accept the idea of his wife’s death.

The ugly words settled in Mr. Shiftlet’s head like a group of buzzards in the top of a tree. How does the simile in the sentence
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

2. The image emphasizes that Mr. Shiftlet lives in an uncaring world.

Explanation:

Flannery O'Connor's short story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" is part of the numerous short stories collection "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The story revolves around the character of Tom Shiflet and his acts in trying to survive the world, cheating Lucynell and her mother.

Similes are literary devices that compares words with another directly, a bit different from a metaphor (Metaphors compare things indirectly related). This simile in the sentence compares the words spoken by the old woman Lucynell to that of "<em>a group of buzzards in the top of a tree</em>". The "<em>ugly words</em>" of Mrs. Lucynell was that Shiflet was "<em>a poor disabled friendless drifting man</em>", but she also considers him capable enough to be her daughter's husband. This way of addressing him by the woman who expects him to marry her daughter shows that the world or society he lives in doesn't have much care about others, everyone for themselves.
