Scene 1: What word best describes the tone in this soliloquy by Banquo at the beginning of act III? Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all,
As the weird women promised, and I fear
Thou play'dst most foully for 't Yet it was said
It should
not stand in thy posterity,
But that myself should be the root and father
Of many kings. If there come truth from them-
As upon thee, Macbeth, their speeches shine-
Why, by the verities on thee made good,
May they not be my oracles as well
And set me up in hope? But hush, no more!

A Nervous
B Confused
C Excited
D Suspicious
