English
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Immigrant communities, hard-hit by recession and lacking the cushion of a safety net, are also gripped with fear as the Bush Administration recasts immigration policy within the framework of national security and the war on terrorism.
Now the amnesty debate is on hold in Washington, and community groups are steeling themselves for reversals on hard-fought battles against Border Patrol violence, INS raids and detentions and racial profiling.
Catherine Tactaquin, director of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, says, "We're hit with a revival of historic patterns of fear, hatred, of fingering immigrants as threats to national security.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Portia's opening line describes mercy is forgiving, generous and godlike quality.

Explanation:

  • It blesses those who show mercy, which not only makes them feel good, but also brings heavenly rewards.
  • When someone wants to exact revenge, but opts for mercy, he displays divine,God-like attributes.
  • Portia is referred to as an upright, noble benevolent lady, but close reading of the play shows she is a proud,cunning woman.Her best qualities are her logic and intelligence.
  • These efforts however, have no effect on Shylock.
