English

Answer:

The phrases that convey the ironic tone are:

  • My former speeches have but hit your thoughts,Which can interpret farther.
  • The gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead.

Explanation:

This question is about "Macbeth" a play written by Shakespeare that shows how Macbeth usurped the throne of King Duncan who was also his personal friend and the consequences that this attitude led.

Lennox's speech is a great example of verbal irony, where Lennox is extremely sarcastic while presenting the hostility he felt towards the nobles who were listening to him.

We can see this sarcasm in the lines:

  • My former speeches have but hit your thoughts, Which can interpret farther: Where Lennox says that the nobles can interpret his words, however they want, however, he knows that there is only one conclusion and one interpretation of his speech, which means that the nobles agree with all his words.
  • The gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead: Where he mocks Macbeth's suffering and grief over Duncan's death. He claims that Macbeth suffered so much for the death of his friend, that he killed him himself, so that he could have a worthy mourning.

Which event is an example of irony in Macbeth?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: B. King Duncan thinks Macbeth is good and virtuous man, when in reality Macbeth is plotting his murder.

Irony occurs when a character believes something that is the complete opposite of reality. For irony to work in a play, the audience usually has to have more information that the characters. In this case, the audience knows that Macbeth is planning the murder of King Duncan. However, the audience also knows that King Duncan believes Macbeth to be a good and virtuous man. This contradiction is an example of irony in the play.

Elis [28]

The history of Captain Nemo in the book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" remains a mystery. However, in the course of the narrative, the reader is given some clues of what forged him as a stern captain. When he says "There I am free", referring to the ocean, it is possible to infer that he had a somehow captive life on land. He also reaffirms his refusal to go back to land for he would sacrifice the freedom of knowing the submarine world in his Nautilus. The words "builder" and "engineer" denote an academic education, the best disponible back then; he was able to design a submarine with electrical technology, the great Nautilus that made that under water journey possible.
