The witches serve many purposes in the play. Which purpose do they NOT serve? (Macbeth story)

1 answer:

5 0

Because they are witches, they immediately bring a supernatural element to the play, which furthers the theme of "fair is foul, and foul is fair." Additionally, they serve as the instruments of fate by delivering their prophecies to Macbeth, who is then motivated to pursue his ambition.

!! ⬇️

Shakespeare shows the witches first to intrigue the audience with the supernatural. It's good not for Macbeth to appear first since the witches were introducing him and kind of explaining what's going to happen to him.

The potion symbolizes the turmoil in Macebth's soul, and the ingredients represent the elements of the witches' plan pushing him to his destruction. By everyone, she means the audience as well as the witches.

Shakespeare begins Macbeth with a very intriguing scene involving the three Witches. ... Shakespeare's job as a playwright was to immediately set an interesting scene and plot that would compel the audience to stay for the rest of the drama, and so he brought in the three Witches with their electrifying words and presence.

Read the following passage. Then decide whether the student sample at the right (or below) cites the passage acceptably in MLA s

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

b) Unacceptable

Explanation:

The given excerpt shows the text from the original source, enabling us to identify whether the student properly followed the formatting rules of Modern Language Association (MLA) style. The <u>in-text citation format</u> of the MLA style is enclosing the author's last name and the page number in open- and closed-parenthesis at the end of the text.

In the given prompt, the name of the author and the page number were provided. Also, the student copied from the text verbatim. Thus, he or she should have written the direct quotation as:

"There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (Eagleton 11).

Alternatively, the student could have introduced the name of the author before the direct quote:

Terry Eagleton presents an interesting view on the significance of value in literature, as he states, "There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (11).

Therefore, the student <u>unacceptably</u> cites the passage in MLA style.
