Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 6 of The Tragedy
of Macbeth. Lennox and another lord are discussing
the state of their kingdom. The lord says that a
messenger approached Macduff and stated that
Macbeth wanted him to immediately return to
Scotland, but Macduff refused.
[Lord.] thither Macduff
Is gone to pray the holy king, upon his aid
To wake Northumberland and warlike Siward:
That, by the help of these-with Him above
To ratify the work-we may again
Give to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,
Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives,
What mood does the onomatopoeia of "hums" help
create?
aggressive
melancholy
scared
uneasy
