In Macbeth’s hyperbole-filled (exaggerated) reaction to the murder of Duncan, which line best contains some truth about how he actually feels about murdering Duncan and why this line is ironically true? (RL.9-10.4)
“Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time” is actually true because Macbeth feels extremely guilty and remorseful following his killing of Duncan.
"There’s nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys” is actually true because Macbeth thinks life is a joke and he is just playing around.
“Renown and grace is dead” is actually true because he feels that all nobility should give up their titles now that Duncan is gone.
“The wine of life is drawn” is actually true because he is comparing Duncan’s blood to wine, which is now “drawn” out of him.
