In my opinion, they do not only reveal what will happen, but also manipulate events. When Macbeth approached the witches, they could have concealed the truth from him and just let the events unfold, but they didn't do it. They told him about the prophecy, thus initiating the events that soon followed. If they hadn't told him the truth, Macbeth might have never killed Banquo, Duncan, and the rest in order to become king. So yes, they manipulated events and caused a great tragedy.

In <em>Macbeth</em> (1623) by William Shakespeare, the witches are seen as representing destiny but they only manipulate events.

They do not predict the future, they only make assumptions based on their knowledge about Macbeth's love for power. Furthermore, the witches, who have great power in the play, use their ability to persuade in order to convince Macbeth and Banquo that the prophecies are real. Therefore, the witches end up being also responsible for Macbeth's actions and crimes. In the play, Macbeth does not control his own destiny, the witches do. Macbeth kills Banquo because they "predict" that his friend will be the father of a line of kings. In that way, the witches not only manipulate Macbeth's fate but they also represent his darkest side.

Gordon Sterrett is embarrassed by his appearance. Which sentence from the passage best supports this statement?
Over [174]

Answer:

"This latter effect heightened by an unnatural glow which colored his face like a low, incessant fever."

Explanation:

The above sentence from the given excerpt most likely displays that Gordon Sterrett was extremely appalled by his shabby appearance. There is a detailed description of his appearance in the excerpt as 'small, slender, and darkly handsome, unusually framed eyes with long eyelashes with a blue semicircle of ill health' which clearly justifies Gordon's embarrassment to see him. The negative words 'unnatural glow', 'low face', and 'incessant fever' supports this claim effectively and justifies it constructively.

Which type of martial union occurs between people of different social backgrounds
babymother [125]

Answer:

The marital union that occurs between people of different social origins is called Mixed Marriage.

Explanation:

There are two types of mixed marriages: by religion or by nationality. Mixed marriages by religion are those in which one of the members of the couple believes and the other does not, or that each has faith in a belief. The mixed by nationality, is in our case, when the members were not born in the same country.

In the case of a mixed marriage by nationality the bureaucracy is a little larger. The board usually asks for witnesses to answer a series of questions, which are also made to the couple, to make sure that it is not a marriage for convenience. In this case, it is advisable to take photos of trips, to prove that there is a relationship.

For the engaged couple that one has faith and the other does not, they should ask for a dispensation to celebrate the mixed marriage where it is stated in writing that the education of the children will be of Catholic faith. Therefore, one of the two must be baptized.
