Read the passage from “ways of nature.”
she has a pretty way of trying to frighten you off when your head suddenly darkens the opening above her. at such times she leaves the nest and clings to the side of the chimney near it. then, slowly raising her wings, she suddenly springs out from the wall and back again, making as loud a drumming with them in the passage as she is capable of. if this does not frighten you away, she repeats it three or four times. if your face still hovers above her, she remains quiet and watches you.
how does the author’s use of the words pretty and quiet affect the tone of the passage?
the comforting tone makes the bird seem kind toward humans.
the childish tone makes the bird’s defenses seem weak.
the peaceful tone makes the bird seem harmless and mild.

Iwill give brainliest banquo. how goes the night, boy? fleance. the moon is down, i have not heard the clock. banquo. and she goes down at twelve. fleance: i take't, 'tis later, sir. banquo: hold, take my sword. there's husbandry in heaven, their candles are all out. take thee that too. a heavy summons lies like lead upon me, and yet i would not sleep: merciful powers, restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature gives way to in repose! using context clues, what is the meaning of the word "candles" and what effect does that have on the play? the night is cloudy, so no one can really see what is happening. there are no stars, which could be considered candles in heaven, so heaven cannot see the sin happening on the earth below the moon is not illuminating the heavens, so everyone up there is asleep. the candles from the surrounding countryside are all out, so macbeth can carry out the murder
