-the tragedy of macbeth,
william shakespeare
read the passage. what mood does the alliteration of \cabind, cribbd, confind\ help create?
○ angry
○ cautious
○ depressed
○ trapped

Explanation:

The alliterative phrases "cabin'd, cribb'd, confin'd" all relate to being physically restricted or enclosed. Macbeth follows this by stating he is "bound in icy doubts and fears," directly linking the restrictive language to his feeling of being unable to escape his anxious situation. The words evoke a sense of being trapped rather than just angry, cautious, or depressed.

Answer:

trapped
