The correct answer is C, hypocrisy. This work of Mark Twain's is actually a fictionalized version of his own wartime experiences. He is trying to tell us that there is nothing glorious about war, that there is only death and suffering. It cannot be glorious when you have to kill somebody, or somebody will kill you. That's the irony and hypocrisy that Twain was trying to convey in this work.
Although Macbeth is to be king, any future king is to come from the bloodline of Macbeth's friend Banquo.

Answer:
Explanation:Lear’s treatment of Cordelia and subsequent empowerment of Regan and Goneril (false flatterers) leads to the audience feeling alienated towards him – perceiving him as blind and foolish. Cordelia’s presence in France offers the audience a sense of hope – that she will return and Lear will be restored to power or at least her sisters will be usurped.
Some might perceive Cordelia to be a little stubborn for refusing to take part in her father’s love test; and vengeful to marry the King of France as a retaliation but we are told that she has integrity by other characters in the play and the fact that the King of France is willing to take her on without a dowry speaks well for her character; she also has little choice than to marry France.
