he had done. Macbeth hired murderers to kill Banquo and his son. The
murderers killed Banquo, but his son escaped. This meant that the
prophecy that Banquo's son would become king could still come true.
Again Macbeth made another big mistake. At the dinner party he
kept mentioning that he wished that Banquo was th .....

Feathery Friends Or Carnivorous Beasts?
Number of words: 1256 - Number of pages: 5.... together in a time of crisis. Other characters in the story include Jim, Mr. Trigg, and Mrs. Trigg, who are indifferent about the actions of the birds.

Another example of foreshadowing in this selection is when smoke is not coming ou .....

This supernatural soliciting
Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill,
Why hath it given me earnest of success,
Commencing in a truth? I am Thane of Cawdor:

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,
Aga .....

Number of words: 959 - Number of pages: 4.... about the consequences. Tybalt said “I'll not endure him” and
Capulet told him emphatically “he shall be endur'd”(pg. 57, Lines 77 & 78).
In this scene Capulet prevented a huge Montegue and Capulet confrontation
by thinking first and not doing the impulsive suggested by Tybalt. Through

However, Capulet was at times, a very rash person, and that lead to

Capulet acted on haste in Act III, Scene 4 and told Paris “I will make a
despera .....
