Irony is the difference between what is being said and what is being meant.
English writer Anne Bradstreet used several instances of irony in her poems, mostly to mock society's assumptions as regards the role of women. For example:
"Who says my hand a needle better fits"
In the example above, Bradstreet refers to how society constrains women to do housework chores.

A more positive word for argument is discussion
Incomplete question. However, I provided an explanation of key terms.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- <em>idea</em>: the term 'idea' refers to a suggestion or thought about a particular course of action/
- <em>concept</em>: a concept is a thought-out idea; or an idea plan.
- <em>clarify</em>: <em>to </em>'clarify' something, be it an idea implies that you<u> make an unclear statement understood to others.</u>
- <em>complicate</em>: to 'complicate' involves making something, be it an idea less understood, more difficult to understand. In other words, it is the opposite of 'clarify'.
After Macbeth gets the prophecy he now thinks he will be king. Macbeth now wants to be king and he thinks the only way to do that is to kill King Duncan. After Banquo gets the prophecy he does not desire to know anymore about it. Banquo does not take what the witches said seriously. Macbeth is greedy and desires to know more, and Banquo takes it as a joke. Macbeth is more greedy than Banquo, and Banquo is more appreciative.
After the prophecy they both become suspicious of each other. Macbeth killed King Duncan and Banquo questions how the prophecy came true. Macbeth thinks Banquo knows that he killed King Duncan so he then plots to kill him.
