What evidence from the text supports the idea that lady Macbeth questions her husband ability to kill the king?

What evidence from the text supports the idea that Lady Macbeth questions her husband's resolve to kill the king?

She said she would if he didn't remind her of her father. I can't say if it's true or not but it seems as if she has some womanly feelings to feel bad for killing someone who reminds her of her father.


What does Shakespeare mean by the word wouldst?

In Middle English the second person singular had a completely different set of pronouns and verb forms from the second person plural. In Early Modern English, people started using the plural form for the singular as being more polite, and only used the old singular form for special cases, such as lovers talking, people talking to servants, children or dogs, and so on. These forms are still around but are quite rare. By Shakespeare's day, this process was well advanced, but Shakespeare's country dialect was a little old-fashioned for his day. He uses the older pronoun thou and the verb forms that go with it (all of which end in -st) more often than his contemporaries. This is so you will know that whenever you see a word in Shakespeare or the King James Bible which looks like an ordinary verb with -st on the end, you will know that it is that same word, only in use with a "thou" which you will find nearby. For an example, "thou wouldst" means "you would" (providing you are only talking about one person), "thou canst" means "you can", "thou hadst" means "you had" and so on and on.


What is the the modern word of thou?

What verse speaks of Peter's death?

The death of Peter is not mentioned in the Bible and is known only from writings of early Church fathers and tradition. However, John 21:18 does seem to indicate the future death of Saint Peter:"Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not."

Is shirk only known in the name of Islam?

The concept of Shirk means worshiping other gods besides Allah, the One only Godweather these gods were humans, things, or any other manifestations.43 Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust ? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him ?44 Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?[The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'ân, by M.M. Pickthall]So clearly you can notice that this concept is applicable to Christianity and Judaism, the Monotheistic religions
