Because there are liars and swearers enough to beat up the honest men and hang them. So then why do they let the honest men hang them instead?

∙ 10y agoThis line is very mind intriguing, as this young kid speaks such evil, and yet he doesn't realize that there is anything wrong with it. It is horrifying to hear that the evil should kill all the good instead, but since he is not taught ethics, to him this idea is only common sense that there are so many liars and swearers they would outnumber the honest people.

Why did lady Macbeth convince Macbeth to kill macduff's family?
Lady Macbeth does not convince Macbeth to kill Macduffs family. She convinces him to kill the King at the start of the play, but after that she has no input in the decisions he makes. Macbeth chooses to have Macduffs family killed so that he may seize the Macduff castle for his own. The witches also tell him to 'beware Macduff' when he visits them and so he feels threatened by him. Macbeth doesn't actually personally kill Macduffs family either, he hires the same thugs that he hires to assassinate Banquo and Fleance to murder him.
Who were the traitors in shakespeares plays?
Son: What is a traitor? Lady Macduff: Why, one that swears and lies. Son: And must they all be hanged that swear and lie? Lady Macduff: Every one. Son: Who must hang them? Lady Macduff: Why, the honest men. Son: The the liars and swearers are fools, for there are liars and swearers enow to beat the honest men and hang up them. (Macbeth, 4,2) Out of the mouths of babes . . . Indeed, in Shakespeare the traitors, that is those that launch attacks against their own state or its rulers, seem to outnumber the honest men. Indeed, in the whole Henry VI trilogy it is so unclear who the rulers are that everyone is a traitor. Often Shakespeare is on the side of the traitors, so that it is hard to remember that people like Macbeth, Richard III and Albany and Cornwall in King Lear are the legitimate authority and that Malcolm, Macduff (Lady Macduff was right about him), Buckingham, Richmond, and Cordelia are the traitors. Here are some more of them: Bolingbroke was a traitor to Richard II, Aumerle to Henry IV, Hotspur to Henry IV, Scroop, Cambridge and Grey to Henry V, Jack Cade and his crew to Henry VI, York to Henry VI, Warwick to Henry VI, Warwick to Edward IV, Clarence to Edward IV, Gloucester to Edward V, Richmond to Richard III, Imogen to Cymbeline, Brutus and Cassius to Rome, Coriolanus to Rome, Lucius Andronicus to Rome, Claudius to Hamlet Sr., Hamlet to Claudius.
