To formulate any type of argument using the Bible

of the reader, or quite simply, a vagueness with
which the Bible can lend itself to multiple
interpretations. Nevertheless, there are certain
topics which are void of much gray area, which are
explicitly and consistently outlined by the

Fiend Like Queen Act 2 Scene 2

H 2 >"this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen."
Is this a fair comment on the characters of the
Macbeth's? Malcolm said this. There
is bias. Macbeth kills his father Duncan. Malcolm
