This is a qoute from Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Act 1. Scene 2. These lines are said by Duncan to Ross after the Thane of Cawdor has been caught and is waiting to be executed. The quote specifically refers to how Macbeth will be taking his place as the Thane of Cawdor. These lines show a prominent promotion for Macbeth as he begins his ascent.
Explanation:
One thread that runs throughout the novel is a critique of moral hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is pretending to virtues and then not adhering to them in reality. It is often called talking the talk and not walking the walk. The worst characters in the novel pretend to moral virtue for their own gain.
For example, the cold-hearted con artists the Duke and the King cheat people out of their money. The King does this by pretending to be collecting for a mission for former pirates, amassing $80—a large sum in that time period to bilk out of poor, hardworking people. The twosome will do anything to get money, pretending to be heirs to Wilks family to swindle an inheritance from the rightful heirs. The King also betrays Jim for $40. Twain, through these men, condemns a society that teaches people to put monetary gain ahead of compassion, honesty, and empathy towards other people.
