Explain this quote from macbeth.

to be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus-- our fears in banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'tis much he dares; and to that dauntless temper of his mind he hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour to act in safety. there is none but he whose being i do fear; and under him my genius is rebuked, as it is said, marc antony's was by caesar.

Background Information

This scene takes place in Act 3 (the climax of the play) after a conversation that Macbeth and Banquo have. In the latter, Banquo suspects of how Macbeth might have become the king, especially because he was present during the Witches' prediction.

Answer

Macbeth believes that his position as a king is not safe, so he says "to be the king means nothing if my position is threatened" There are two facts that don't let Macbeth be the king safely: One is that Banquo suspects of him, and the second one is that Banquo also received a prophecy from the witches saying that he would be "father to a line of kings". Macbeth wants the kingdom only for himself and he doesn't want Banquo's sons to overthrone him.

That is why he says after this:

Macbeth admits that he is afraid of Banquo, and he is afraid of how noble and loyal he is to the true king.

Banquo is very corageous and wise when he has to do something.

Banquo is the only person in the world I'm afraid of. Macbeth is afraid of Banquo because he is the only one that knows about the witches' prediction (therefore he suspects of him) and because his sons would be the future kings. Bear in mind that Macbeth's tragic flaw is ambition: First, he wanted to be king. Then he wanted to be the king without any threats and for good. Now that Banquo is considered a threat, he will have to kill him, and as he states later on: blood brings more blood.

As long as Banquo is alive, my "guardian angel" (who ever is keeping him alive) is afraid, just like the Guardian Angel of Marc Antony  was afraid of Caesar (This is an allusion to another play by Shakespeare)

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.

b)metaphor

explanation:

when reading the sentence carefully it says,"hope is a thing with feathers" it's like saying: hope is a thing like feathers

get what i'm saying? instead of using a smilie like or as they use "with"

it would be nice enough if i got .
