read this line from act v of macbeth:
macbeth:
i pull in resolution, and begin to doubt the equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth. (act v, scene v)
how is this line spoken by macbeth an allusion to the following quote from the bible:
ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. when he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. (john 8: 44)
