Question

Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V Scene 5
http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1129/pg1129.html

MACBETH. She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Answer 1

What's the question?

Answer 2

What do you think it is?

Answer 3

Why do you think it passes quickly?

Answer 4

It's not B, any other guesses?

Answer 5

This is how people help on openstudy =P It's all about involvement.

Answer 6

Using words like "Creeps" or "The last syllable of recorded time" means that whatever it is will be going slow, or forever.

Answer 7

So do you think it's: C It progresses slowly. or D. It will continue indefinitely. ?

Answer 8

I can't tell you what I think it is until you say which one you think it is =P

Answer 9

I had already said it wasn't B. It's also not A, because A is pretty much the same thing a B.

Answer 10

So it's C or D

Answer 11

However, this is sort of a trick question. It could be C or D.

Answer 12

so what you think

Answer 13

But judging by how slow the author wrote this, I'd go with D.

Answer 16

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:

(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate ... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

What does President Lincoln clearly state by the line in bold?

We have come to move forward as a nation after an unjust war.
We have come to pay respect to the people who died in this battle.
We have decided to change the course of the war for the future.
We have decided to forget this battle because it was too bloody.
