Question 4 of 11 • *CR01003A English 3
Read the excerpt from act 4, scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Lady Macduff is discussing her husband, who has fled the kingdom and left her and their children alone and unprotected.Lady Macduff. Wisdom! to leave his wife, to leave his babes,His mansion and his titles in a placeFrom whence himself does fly? He loves us not; He wants the natural touch: for the poor wren,The most diminutive of birds, will fight,Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.All is the fear and nothing is the love;As little is the wisdom, where the flightSo runs against all reason.
