Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well, look at the themes on Shmoop. Also, OpenStudy is not for use on quizzes or tests.

Answer 7

okay i wasnt looking for a direct answer. i was just asking if somebody would explain the play a little bit.

Answer 8

It is a hard one to just explain and I think when you read those themes you will be OK.

Answer 9

I think that the answer is B. ambition unchecked can lead to corruption.

Answer 10

is that right..?

Answer 11

Like I said, OS is not for quizzes, so I am not going to say.

What I will say is that shmoop.com is a great resource for English and Literature classes because it has info on most of the major works they use in them.

Answer 12

openstudy is to help people

Answer 13

i am not asking you to give me a direct answer. i am asking if i am correct or not. openstudy is to help people.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Read the part under "What is OpenStudy's Anti-Cheating Policy?"

OpenStudy is for tutoring and homework help. It is not for use on tests, quizzes, and other forms of examination.

Answer 16

i am asking for homework help!

Answer 17

i need a quick tutor to help me understand this. that is what the site is for

Answer 18

and that is what i am asking for

Answer 19

"i dont remember i cant open the lesson when i have the quiz open" \(\leftarrow\) You said quiz.

quiz = bad mojo on OS.

It reallt is that simple.

If one of the admis saw you doing quiz stuff, they would just suspend you for a month.

Answer 20

it is not cheating at all. yes i am taking a quiz. but i am not looking for a direct answer from anybody. they have the exact same question within the lesson. so just because the exact same question is in one thing and not the other then thats not okay with OS? fine then i am closing the quiz and am asking the same exact question from the lesson. now can you help? cause i am not taking the quiz anymore. i am asking for somebody to help me understand the theme of macbeth!! that is all!

Answer 21

It is Shakespeare, there are cons of complexity and layered themes. That is why I linked something that goes over them. There is also a summary of the play there. But trying to give you the core of a complex, 2 to 3 hour play by one of the worlds most well respected authors who was known for his depth and subtly is just not something I can do. Again, that leaves me with the link I gave you.

Answer 22

thank you for the link. i found it helpful. so am i understanding this correctly by saying the theme can be summarized by ambition unchecked can lead to corruption? or am i wrong and need to re-read it?

Answer 23

As I said before, when you look at the themes on Shmoop, you should do OK.

Answer 24

does that mean i understand it correctly or not??
