Question: Macbeth Language help: Act 5 Seance 2!. !?
CAITHNESS: Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies:
Some say he's mad; others that lesser hate him
(This) "Do call it valiant fury: but, for certain,
He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause
Within the belt of rule!. "
______________________________________!.!.!.
ANGUS : Now does he feel
His secret murders sticking on his hands;
Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach;
Those he commands move only in command,
(This) "Nothing in love: now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe
Upon a dwarfish thief!."
What does the "example" mean!? i need as much detail on description/meaning/ anything!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Basically they are saying that Macbeth cannot sustain his rule!. Those that follow him do so out of fear only!. This, in battle, will not go a long way!. He will not be able to hold on to his rule, like most vicious tyrants (Hitler, Mussolini, to name a few)!. Those that follow Macbeth have no feelings of patriotism or loyalty to him, they only fear for their lives and will be easily beaten or revolt against him as soon as they have the chance!. He has taken on something far too 'large' for him (the giant's robe metaphor)!. He will drown in it eventually!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
i don't reall get our question!. you have "example"!.!.!.usually when you use quotation marks, well, you're quoting!.!.!.whom are you quoting!? whomever they are, they are non existent in this passage!. there is not one use of example here!. if you were just trying to get someone to tell you what the passage means, which is usually what people do on this website then check out http://nfs!.sparknotes!.com/Www@QuestionHome@Com
It means that when he committed those killings he still had the blood on his hands!. He doesn't know that some one loves him and he is too busy to care about other people's feelings but himself!. I'm just guessing!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
