Question

which statement best describes the appeal lady macbeth creates in these lines?
○ she creates pathos by questioning macbeths strength.
○ she creates logos by describing the necessity to murder duncan.
○ she creates logos by describing macbeths past acts of heroism.
○ she creates pathos by questioning macbeths courage.

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotion, while logos uses logic/reason. Lady Macbeth's manipulation of Macbeth centers on attacking his sense of courage (a personal, emotional trigger) to shame him into acting, not logical argument or questioning general strength. She does not use logos here, as she does not make a reasoned case for Duncan's murder or rely on past heroism for logic.

Answer:

She creates pathos by questioning Macbeth's courage.
