People believed in the power of prophecies.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the play, a group of witches tell Macbeth that he is a "charmed" person, and that no person born from a woman can hurt him. This makes him ambitious, and feeling blessed, Macbeth commits all the crimes of the subsequent scenes. However, when he is about to face Macduff, he learns that he is not "born" from woman, as he was born by C-section. Macbeth believes in the power of prophecies, as was common during this time period. Therefore, he becomes extremely scared at hearing this, curses the witches and refuses to fight Macduff.

the correct answer is c. usually the language, and its emotional insight, that is how feelings and attitudes are expressed through language, are not quite present in film adaptations. despite that, it is a factor that a fan may either not notice or not care much about, especially compared to the other factors.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
