Macbeth, Part 3: Rhetorical Devices

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

Marta is writing an essay about Macbeth and wants to include an example of asyndeton to make a point. Which sentence should she include in her paper to accomplish this?

Answer
A
Would Macbeth have killed Duncan without Lady Macbeth’s influence?
B
Lady Macbeth goads, badgers, pesters her husband into committing homicide.
C
Is there a more extreme example of a supportive spouse than Lady Macbeth?
D
Lady Macbeth’s ambition brought bloody murder and exalted glory to her household.

Explanation

Asyndeton is the omission of conjunctions between items in a series. Choice B lists three verbs—“goads, badgers, pesters”—without using “and,” so it is an example of asyndeton. The other choices do not contain a series with its conjunction omitted.
