Read this line from act V of Macbeth: MACBETH: I pull in resolution, and begin to doubt the equivocation of the fiend that lies

like truth. (act V, scene V) How is this line spoken by Macbeth an allusion to the following quote from the Bible: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. (John 8:44)

When the messenger tells Macbeth that the woods of the Birnam forests are moving towards Dunsinane, Macbeth gets terrified and angry with him. He fears the prophecy made by the witches and in his anger busts out at the messenger and warns him that if proven false, he will hang him alive from the very first tree which he’ll see. The lines spoken by Macbeth gives an allusion to the above quotation from the Bible where Jesus was considered to be the son of the devil. He was accused of being a devil and a murderer as his father for telling the truth. Both the messenger and Jesus were said to be liars in different circumstances and were threatened to get punishments for this act.

PLATO Answer: Macbeth realizes that the witches are agents of evil. He understands that the witches told only half-truths that led him to his impending doom. So, when Macbeth compares the witches to the devil who, in the guise of a serpant, lied to Eve, he is alluding to this biblical verse.

How does Ponyboy’s point of view influence how events in this chapter are described? What can you determine about Ponyboy’s char
elena55 [62]

The point of view presented by Ponyboy allows the reader to understand the events in a more personal and intimate way, as Ponyboy shows how he perceives things and how he feels about them.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is from the book "The Outsiders." Unfortunately, you didn't show the chapter to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for me to answer it specifically, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

As we read these books, we can see that:

  • The narrator of the book is Ponyboy, who is also the protagonist of the story.
  • Ponyboy lives with his older brothers.
  • They live with little economic resources and all are involved with street gangs.
  • There is a lot of rivalry between street gangs, which creates a lot of violence and danger for the members.
  • Ponyboy witnesses these dangers many times, as he is part of the greaser gang, which is the enemy of the socs.

When we look at the narration of these conflicts between the gangs, we can see that Ponyboy does not feel represented by either side of the conflict, for this reason, he narrates the events in a more intimate way, reinforcing the sense of displacement he feels.

While Ponyboy doesn't feel like he belongs to any of these gangs, his brothers are very loyal to the greaser gang. In that case, if they narrated the conflicts, they would present a narrative with a strong bias towards how the greasers acted.
