Answer:
She could be a mentor or make commentary on Shakespeare's play, including both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself struggling with their moral codes and having small psychotic breakdowns, some bigger than others (Lady M literally dies).
Honestly that last one is a little tricky. She wants to help Macbeth, essentially by destroying him. Maybe that's what your teacher means? She's very confident and has a sort of complex that she controls fate, while criticizing Macbeth for his over-confidence. She says some paradoxical things and so do the witches, such as the phrase "when the battle's lost and won" meaning, technically that they both won and lost the battle, a paradox. Of course, it means the actual loss comes from casualty, but grammatically it is a paradox. Macbeth doesn't really have a clue what it means.
Explanation:
I'm sorry I could not be so definite. I love Macbeth and even performed in it two years ago. These questions are a little strange. Ha-ha! Hope this helped in some way anyhow.
What story are you talking about?
Odysseus blinded Polyphemus, and now Poseidon is angry and seeks to avenge his son. Further, Tiresias predicts trouble when the ship reaches Thrinacia, where the "fat flocks" of cattle belonging to the sun god, Helios, live.
It would be the resolution because that's when all the answers are finally solved and the story is about to finish or is completed. The rising action and climax is when the characters are trying to solve the problem or finding out the problem and the falling action is when everything starts to come into place and the drama is starting to become resolved.
