Answer:

Dramatic irony

Explanation:

This is an instance of dramatic irony. In these lines, we see Lady Macbeth asking about the event that happened recently. Macduff tells Lady Macbeth that he cannot inform her, as she is too delicate to hear it, and he might commit "murder" if he told her (it would figuratively shock her to death). This is an example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows that Lady Macbeth is not as Macduff imagines her. In fact, she planned Duncan's murder and pushed Macbeth to do it, proving she can be more ruthless than any of the men imagine.

Imagine you are the Count's representative in Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess." Having met the Duke and listened to his story
Art [367]
<span>Break it off—quickly!

Since it is revealed that the Duke was responsible for the murder of his first wife because he thought that she smiled at too many other men that weren't him, it would be wise to advice the Count to break off the marriage before the Duke could murder his daughter. </span>
