What is the tone of the following excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Masque of the Red Death"? There was a sharp cry—and the da

gger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero. Then, summoning the wild courage of despair, a throng of the revellers at once threw themselves into the black apartment, and, seizing the mummer, whose tall figure stood erect and motionless within the shadow of the ebony clock, gasped in unutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpse-like mask, which they handled with so violent a rudeness, untenanted by any tangible form. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.

mixer [17]

Answer:

By "Cain's heresay" he was referring to the famous phrase "I am not my brother's keeper." Cain used it meaning that he was not responsible for what his brother did, and if his brother made bad decisions the consequences should fall on him, and not Cain, that t wasn't his job to babysit his brother. By alluding to this quote in the passage Mr. Utterson was saying that it is not his job to monitor or judge anyone, that he is not anyone's keeper or babysitter. it is not his job to judge the actions of others as right or wrong, and he "let's his brother go to the devil in his own way." Meaning if you want to make bad choices he is not responsible for what you do, and will not judge you for doing it. he's basically saying we're all grown ups here, do what you want to do, and I'll be your friend either way....we are all responsible for our own choices good or bad.

1. How does Macbeth’s tragic flaw both spur his rise to power and lead to his undoing? Use specific examples from the play to su
horrorfan [7]
Macbeth's tragic flaw is ambition. This flaw helped him to power because he was able to use this blind ambition to do things like commit murder that would get him on the throne. Even when he is having doubts, his ambition leads him forward. He says, "I have no spur To pr**k the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition<span>" (1.7), which means that the only thing leading him forward is his ambition which is causing him to leap into the murder of Duncan.</span>

This flaw ultimately caused his downfall because he wanted too much and went too far, led by his ambition. He tried to kill Fleance because he wanted his own children to be kings after him, and he killed Macduff's family on just the word of the witches that he should fear Macduff. He says, "And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done: The castle of Macduff I will surprise" (4.1). This shows that he thinks he is acting out of a need to secure his position and stay in power, and that killing Macduff's family will help this. Unfortunately, it only spurs Macduff to fight harder and eventually kill Macbeth.
