We Have Scorched The Snake Not Killed It

English
1 answer:
irinina [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

By scorching the snake but not killing it, Macbeth means that they still have threats to face, even with Duncan out of the picture.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's <em>Macbeth</em><em> </em>deals with the story of Macbeth who, adamant on making his fate come true from the prophecy of three witches, did numerous evil acts. Added to that, he was also led to these murderous acts by his equally power hungry wife Lady Macbeth.

The given excerpt from Act II scene ii of the play reveals how Macbeth feels even after getting rid of his primary enemy King Duncan. Even after assurance from his wife to relax, he did not seem happy about his act. Rather, he wanted to get rid of anyone who seems an obstacle for his road to the throne. Scorching the snake is a metaphorical way of indicating the removal of one stumbling block, but "not kill'd it" shows that he still believes there are more threats before he could successfully and happily sit in the throne. Duncan's death may be what he wanted, but it is not the end of any threat. The snake is the whole entity of the possible threats, and the scorching act is just the start of getting rid of the whole animal. The snake is a metaphor for all threats.

I don't think it's a good idea to revise it for years - the topic might get irrelevant in the meantime!

Also getting it "right" the first time - or even the second time is not very likely, a more likely option is that it will need between 3 and 10 revisions. So I think the best option is <span>B. Work on it over a seven-day period and rewrite it at least twice.</span>

Deadline = Today!!!<br><br> In 12-15 sentences, summarize the book "Thirteen Days to Midnight".
Ket [755]

Answer:

Jacob Fielding is your average teenager. But one day he is given an amazing power that grants him absolute invincibility, but at a cost. The longer you have said ability, the more suicidal psychopathic you become. The only way to get rid of this curse is to simply say the words, "You are invincible" to the person of your choice.

Jacob soon starts to realize he has this power. Without realizing, he signs his friend Ophelia’s cast with the words “You are indestructible” Then things start to go awry. The children become obsessed with his power and only want to use it for themselves.

Ophelia soon becomes dark and sinister like the other children. Jacob and his other friend Milo spend the rest of the book attempting to save her. One common theme in this book is that “with power comes great responsibility” The dark and twistedness of this book illustrates this theme through all of its characters.

In a minimum of 100 words, describe the plot of a problem novel with which you are familiar. Include background information abou
brilliants [131]

Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth is a social novel, also know as "problem novel" that  deals with the old Victorian views about legitimacy and sinful behaviors. Gaskell portrays an outcast, "a fallen woman" in a very compassionate way.

It is demonstrated how the society would act towards a mother who conceived a child out of a marriage and how the main character, Ruth, is viewed as an evil and sinful person, despite the fact that she is actually good from what we can see. A proof of that would be the fact that she was willing to act as a nurse for typhus victims. She even treated Bellingham who was responsible for her ruin.

It is also interesting to note that she was not treated as a bad person or unwanted person by the townspeople who actually appreciated her nursing care. She also did not speak down to them. She recognized their needs and they were thankful for that.
