PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

In Act IV of Macbeth, Macduff and Malcolm learn of the chaos and disloyalty that exists in Scotland under Macbeth’s reign.


How does Scotland's condition illustrate one of the play’s major themes?



It shows how, while rightful kings bring order to their nation, tyrants bring disorder.



It shows how good leadership is unrelated to personal decency, honor, and bravery.



It shows how shame over past misdeeds can paralyze one who is attempting to lead.



It shows how free will is an illusion and how fate affects human endeavors.

Answer:

It shows how, while rightful kings bring order to their nation, tyrants bring disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Macbeth you can read:

"Each new morn,

New widows howl, new orphans cry; new sorrows

Strike heaven on the face, that it resounds

As if it felt with Scotland, and yell'd out

Like a syllable of dolour."

This is a reference on how the rightfull heir to the throne and the right king will bring peace and order to his nation, while tyrans only want what´s best for them and the people will end up suffering from having them in power.
