The first visit I make to my birthplace

I’ll peel from the wall
that ashamed look of my mother
and there where the bold rhythm of my pulse began
I’ll make confession:
my clear hands bear no urge to clench and strike
Brawling drunk isn’t my language
I take no pride in killing
Male supremacy
never fattened me at its table

Answer:

I think that this excerpt from Tahere Saffarzadeh's Birthplace assumes a(n) proud and, at the same time, shameful tone.

The correct answer would be the third and forth one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, the speaker shows shame when talking about taking "no pride in killing". He actually seems to be ashamed of what he has done, he recognize that birthplace as the one who saw his transformation, the place where the "pulse began", and the one thing he intend to do is to take out that ashamed look from his mother from the walls.

I think he also feels proud of believing now that "brawling drunk" is not longer his language and that "male supremacy never fattened" him at the table. His tone is kind of strong, and he seems to be proud of it.
