Answer:
c. the revelation of how Macduff was born
d. the news that soldiers carrying boughs from Birnam Wood are approaching
Explanation:
Shakespeare's famous play, <em>Macbeth</em>, is a story about the Scottish general, his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving. Macbeth believes in what they say, ensured that his position as a king could not be compromised. However, towards the end of the play, Malcolm and his army are approaching the castle, camouflaged with the trees from the forest, and Macbeth realizes that he has been misled by the witches' prophecy. This becomes even more clear on the battlefield, when he finds out that Macduff was born by Caesarean section - he was not, in fact, "of woman born."
Answer:
Considering the real life story "The Story Behind the Cask of Amontillado" and Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" bear striking similarities.
In the real life version, a spiteful army Captain kills a young Lieutenant. The pals of the latter sells him drinks and take him to a dungeon where they bind him and seal him up inside alive. No one figured out the enigma behind his vanishing and his body wasn't found till years later.
Poe uses this real life story to create a fiendish portrait of a man who is willing to go to the same length to seek revenge. Poe's protagonist uses the same method to kill his enemy and is never caught either.
Differences:
In the real life version, the soldiers are hot headed young men who want to take vengeance for their friend's untimely death. In Poe's story, however, Montresor is a cold-blooded killer who enjoys executing every moment of his sinister plan. Also, his victim's crime was merely insulting him on some occasion.
