Read the following passage:

MACBETH. Seyton! I am sick at heart,
When I behold Seyton, I say! This push
Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age,
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have, but, in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not.
Seyton!

Answer 5

I'm thinking C, people don't want to die because they think they've lived long enough. They are ready to die when the hurt becomes to much and they want it to end by any means.
