Macbeth, Part 6: Figurative Language and Rhetoric

Question 3 • English 2 Sem 2 (10013400) BCPS 2025-26

Read the passage. What does Malcolm mean when he says, "My more-having would be as a sauce / To make me hunger more”?

Answer
A
He would have an unlimited desire for good food.
B
Becoming rich is the only thing that would satisfy him.
C
Each thing that he possessed would make him even greedier.
D
Seeing what other people own would make him want to harm them.

Explanation

Malcolm compares having more to adding sauce to food: it would make him hunger for even more. He means that each possession would increase his desire for further possessions, not satisfy him. So the best answer is “Each thing that he possessed would make him even greedier.”
