How does Shakespeare tell the audience how much time passes in scene 1

English
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

He is presented as a loyal and heroic warrior who had no apparent lust for power. However, the flames of ambition could be seen when he uttered "tell me more" after the witches prophecy. The prophecy, however, is half finished and he is responsible for finishing it off himself. Thus, the main plot is set in motion and is a chilling foreshadowing of the influence of power and the corruption it has, even on a "good" person like Macbeth. Macbeth is seriously conflicted between a number of possibilities. He seriously considers letting fate take its course ("If chance would have me king, why then let chance crown me."), taking agressive action ("Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down or else o'erleap for in my way it lies."), and doing nothing and disregarding the prophecy ("We shall proceed no further in this business.") What drives him to commit the murder is not "vaulting ambition" but his fear that his wife will consider him less than manly.

2. Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven":
madreJ [45]

The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:

It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.

Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.

The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.

We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my

door!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

stich3 [128]

Answer:

'God forbid I take it from him." John Proctor has made the right decision because he now sees that he is a good man again. He could not see it before and so he was unhappy, but now that he has regained his sense of his own goodness and integrity, he goes to his death with confidence and certainty of his worth.
