Thought Question 1&7:

Question 1

Duncan says that Inverness castle is a pleasant place where the air is sweet, "...unto our gentle senses."  I don't see how this really says anything about Duncan's judgment.  Banquo is quick to add to and support Duncan's praise of the castle.  This implies that Banquo really does agree with Duncan about the castle being a pleasant place or it implies that Banquo is trying to gain favor with Duncan by agreeing with him.

Question 7

What is sacrilege?  Sacrilege is violating or misusing what is regarded as sacred.  Killing a king or Duncan is sacrileges because kings were seen by most as great and sacred.  Macbeth's sin of killing Duncan and Adams sin of eating the forbidden fruit are sacrileges because they both violated something that was sacred.

  2. First of all, good job August. I thought you did a wonderful job. Second of all, look at the time stamps. August posted this before Peyton posted his. Therefore, if anything, Peyton's post looks a lot like this one. ;)
    Also, before commenting, check your facts. If you want to suggest that anyone is copying a post, check the time stamps!
