Answer and explanation:

<u>Dante Alighieri, in his poem "Inferno", places Brutus, Cassius, and Judas in the Ninth Circle and worst place in hell because they are betrayers</u>. Judas betrayed Jesus Christ, and Brutus and Cassius betrayed Roman emperor Julius Caesar.<u> We may say the context is that betrayal is the gravest sin anyone can commit.</u> Judas, Brutus, and Cassius are not only in the Ninth Circle, but in its fourth and final ring, which means they have the worst punishment. They are each being chewed by one of Satan's heads. Satan himself, who betrayed God, is stuck in a frozen lake. He cannot move, and he does not resemble his previous angelic form at all. <u>We may say the sub-text is both religious and political. </u>Dante is, at least in his writing, criticizing and punishing those he considers to be vile criminals, who have betrayed their masters and benefactors. No crime seems to be worse than betraying someone's love and trust.

Discuss the role of the Witches in the play. What is the nature of their power in regards to Macbeth’s fate? Be sure to discuss
lakkis [162]

The magical power of the three witch sisters in Macbeth is decisive for the progress of this one, which is one of their best pieces. Macbeth, the protagonist, ascends the throne of Scotland thanks to a series of crimes and intrigues, but at all times guided by supernatural forces. It is the witches who, like the three Moira sisters of Greek mythology, decide the future of the characters.

Macbeth seeks his luck, launched by the three witches. Shakespeare's character follows the witches' prophecy into the future. He seeks, at all times, the words of the three sisters to the point of overcoming them. An example of this overtaking can be seen in the fact that Malcom, the son of Duncan, is crowned, and not Fleance, the son of Banquo, as mentioned in the witches' sentence. This fact should suggest to us that this prophetic speech was not so certain and / or that, in part, they were supplanted by the interpretative will that covers the action of the main character. Therefore, Macbeth built part of his tragedy, in that he chose to interpret such prophecies.

Q.5 Write a readable story using the outlines given below(5)

Answer

As the little hand continued to rhythmically tick, Henry's patience dwindled, and anxiety set in. He had reorganized his desk supplies three times, each time rearranging the pens by color. Everything was in place in his tidy office, yet the clerk was still missing. With a gush of wind, the front door burst open and in fumbled a lanky young man who was struggling to balance a briefcase and five coffees. Henry swiftly made haste towards the door, attempting to conceal his irritation. With a stern tone Henry inquired, "Well look who decided to show up! Out of the 365 days in a year you decide to be late TODAY? Why on Earth are you late?" The clerk smoothed his curly locks to the side of his face and cooly replied, "My watch must've been slow." The nonchalant tone of his voice took Henry by surprise. "Well, either you must get a new watch or I must get a new clerk" Henry retorted. He felt accomplished, returning a sly comment back. The clerk and Henry shared an awkward moment of silence, the stale air between them getting dense.
