What evidence suggests that the dagger macbeth sees is an illusion

C. "Or art thou but/ A dagger of the mind."

Explanation:

Illusion exemplifies a deceptive or misleading idea or belief. It represents a false mental interpretation that is believed to be true. Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Macbeth" displays a central theme of Reality vs Illusion. Macbeth after killing Duncan is terrified by intense guilt. He frequently hears hallucinating(illusion) voices that he believes to be the reality. He fears that he is cursed to never sleep again or pronounce the holy word "Amen". He is so deeply guilt-stricken that he brings the bloody daggers with him. He sees the blood of his hands to be plunged into ocean and turn the entire ocean red. This exaggeration reflects the intensity of his guilt that he begins to hallucinate. Thus, option C reflects the illusions faced by Macbeth due to his untamed ambition that leads him to his tragic end.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
