Answer:

1. Macbeth was curious to hear the prophesies from the witches

2.Banquo appeared curious as well but far more disbelieving.

Explanation:

Macbeth and Banquo's friendship posits that their reactions to the prophecies of the witches might be similar, or, at the very least identical. Nonetheless, it is through their differing reactions to the prophecies that one can see some very key differences in the individual personalities/characters of Macbeth and Banquo.

When Macbeth and Banquo encounter the witches in Act 1, Scene 3, they were both anxious about the witches. Banquo actually addresses the witches first. He appears eager about them, but more from a disbelieving mindset than one of seeking information from supernatural beings.

A few moments later, notwithstanding, after the witches have greeted Macbeth with the three prophecies that will guide the course of the play, Banquo becomes very interested in their seeing abilities. He, unlike Macbeth, actually asks the witches to tell his future. He says, "If you can look into the seeds of time, / And say which grain will grow and which will not, / Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear / Your favors nor your hate" (Act 1: Scene 3).

This different reaction from Macbeth could posits to readers that Banquo is, perhaps, the more susceptible character to the witches' influence. If Lady Macbeth had not stepped in and motivated Macbeth into action, perhaps it would have been a different play entirely, his attention to the witches and their prophecies posits that he is the type of person who, while he may not want to cheat fate, doesn't mind having some extra information to help guide his choices. He appreciates guidance; we see this in his relationship with Macbeth as well.

Ultimately, Banquo disregards the prophecies of the witches as an entertainment or as the musings of crazy people. This is comprehendable, considering that, though Macbeth's prophecies were specific and direct (Thane of Cawdor, "thou shalt be king hereafter!"), the prophecies to Banquo were stated as riddles: "Lesser than Macbeth, and greater... Not so happy, yet much happier..." and as the seemingly impossible: "Thou shalt get kings though thou be none" (Act 1: Scene 3).

how would you use the tenth amendment of the constitution to support the idea that the federal government should not assume more
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The 10th amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." In other words the 10th amendment helps other governments like the federal government from getting to much power.

So to answer your question, your answer is: I would use the 10th amendment to support the idea that the federal government should not assume more power than it already has by giving examples of how powerful the federal government could get, and what would it do to affect the people.
