In act i, scene iii, of macbeth, the witches address macbeth as thane of glamis. when they foretell that macbeth will become thane of cawdor and king, he is bewildered. soon after, a soldier informs him that macbeth is now the thane of cawdor. macbeth wonders to himself whether all the prophecies will come true. which lines in the excerpt show that macbeth is on the verge of giving in to temptation, knowing very well that he is considering committing a terrible crime? macbeth: (aside.) two truths are told, as happy prologues to the swelling act of the imperial theme. i you, gentlemen. (aside.) this supernatural soliciting cannot be ill; cannot be good: —if ill, why hath it given me earnest of success, commencing in a truth? i am thane of cawdor: if good, why do i yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair, and make my seated heart knock at my ribs, against the use of nature? present fears are less than horrible imaginings: my thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, shakes so my single state of man, that function is smother'd in surmise; and nothing is but what is not.

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
