Best Answer

In the last act of Macbeth, several important things are going on at once. There are eight short scenes because the audience needs to follow Lady Macbeth, Macbeth, Malcolm and Mcduff as they converge. The eight short scenes also create a literary tension that leads to the battle between Macbeth and Malcolm.

What is the purpose of ants?

Beware of questions of the form of: "What is the purpose of..." Such a question is meaningless in most cases, and from different points of view one gets different answers. Are you asking the question as, for example, a philosopher, a biologist, a farmer, a human, an ant eater, or a fire ant? For the philosopher, if there is an answer, it might be something like: "It depends on what you mean by having a purpose, which is not in general obvious. There might be many purposes for many things to many interests, or there might be none at all. If there must be some purpose, it is not clear that we can know the purpose for everything; the purpose of a hammer in a hardware store might be to make a profit. In a carpentry workshop it might be to drive a nail. In the hands of a burglar it might be to break a window. On a scale it might be to balance a weight; in a doorway it might be to prop the door open. To an experimenter the purpose of a fire ant might be to find out whether other fire ants are likely to bite, or sting, or both." The biologist might say: "The purpose of the fire ant, if you insist on having a purpose, which is a very artificial and strained kind of idea, is to make lots more fire ants like itself." The farmer might say: "To kill pests that eat my crops, or, evilly, to prevent my cattle from grazing in my pastures." The ant eater might say: "Yum yum." The human might say: "To obey my commands, because I have dominion over them. I have a little book that tells me that." The fire ant might say: "To provide food and shelter for myself and my nest mates, and to kill and eat anything that interferes with that." Until you can make sense of such ideas, and work out what the idea of purpose means for such points of view, there is no way to answer the question. And while we are thinking of treacherous kinds of ideas, another kind of question to beware of is: "Why..." Such questions can mean too many things or too few to answer. Why are such questions dangerous? What is their purpose?
