MACBETH. Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day:
And with thy bloody and invisible hand
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond
Which keeps me pale! Light thickens; and the crow
Makes wing to the rooky wood:
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night's black agents to their preys do rouse.
Thou marvellist at my words: but hold thee still;
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
So, prithee, go with me.
-William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act III, scene ii
What lines support the idea that Macbeth does not want to tell his wife about
Banquo's murder until after it has been done?
A. Light thickens; and the crow / Makes wing to the rooky wood
B. While night's black agents to their preys do rouse. / Thou
marvell'st at my words
O C. Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, / Till thou applaud
the deed.
D. And with thy bloody and invisible hand / Cancel and tear to pieces
that great bond
