In the tragedy of macbeth, act iv, why does macbeth take comfort in the second and third predictions of the apparitions?

Macbeth feels comfortable when he hears the witches second and third predictions because he believes that such events would never actually happen, so he does not have to worry about him losing the throne. An example is "Birnam wood to come to Dunsinane" and how he thinks it is impossible for woods to ever come into the castle. He feels secure with the idea that he does not have to worry about those things and thinks he can keep his position as King.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
