Which event from acts ii and iii demonstrates the recurring motif of "fair is foul, and foul is fair"? a. banquo doesn't commit any crime but is murdered at macbeth's command. b. macbeth sees banquo's ghost at the banquet and tries to defend himself. c. lady macbeth drugs the king's guard to allow macbeth to kill duncan. d. hecate is angry at the three witches and yells at them for their disobedience.

A.

Explanation:

The phrase 'Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair' is a paradox that means that appearances may be deceptive.

In Acts II and III in the play, this motif recurs when Banquo was murdered by the murderers at the command of Macbeth. At this point in the plot, Macbeth convinces the killers that Banquo is their enemy.

The motif recurs in these Acts as Macbeth, to achieve his ambition of becoming the king, again plot a murder, this time of Banquo.

So, the correct answer is option A.

i would lay on the ground, and wait for the earth to simply take me back!
