In "MacBeth", the witches' contradictory prediction of "fair is foul, and foul is fair” is an ongoing motif in the play that explains that appearances can be deceiving. At first glance, Macbeth finds the witches to be hideous, but he thinks that their predictions are appealing. Also, things that are good become bad, and things that are bad become good. This refers to the prediction of Macbeth to become king (which was supposed to be a good thing) but quickly turns sour when he betrays Duncan to take the throne.

This contradiction proves to be true in act one, because of the way that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth act versus the way they appear to be. They put on faces and pretend that they are welcoming hosts to Duncan, all while they are planning his murder. They are foul inside, but being fair on the outside.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Bob Wilson was startled when Oppenheimer called the Japanese <em>"those poor little people" </em>because he understood the painful sense of both sides.

Explanation:

In an interview with Frank Stasio, Mr. Bird reveals the incident when Oppenheimer talks about Japanese and calls them "those poor little people." Bob Wilson was startled by this statement of Oppenheimer because he was able to understand the painful sense of both sides. It was the time when Oppenheimer was instructing people where to bomb.

Textual evidence:

<em>"And she asks, `Who are you talking about?' and he says, `The people who the bomb is going to be used on, the people in Japan.' And this is the very week where he's also instructing the bombardiers exactly how to drop the bomb, at what height to achieve the most maximum destruction. So he understood, you know, in a painful sense, both sides, the necessity as he saw it at the time, and yet, the horrible human consequences of it."</em>
