Read the passage from act 3, scene 1 of The Tragedy
of Macbeth
Macbeth I did so, and went further, which is now
Our point of second meeting. Do you find
Your patience so predominant in your nature
That you can let this go? Are you so gospell'd
To pray for this good man and for his issue,
Whose heavy hand hath bow'd you to the grave
And beggar'd yours for ever?
How is the use of synecdoche in the underlined text
appropriate to Macbeth's purpose?

OIt implies that Banquo is a dangerous man who must
be killed
O It demonstrates that Macbeth has power over the
murderers
O It provides a connection to the friendship between
Banquo and Macbeth.
