Question

In Act 3, Scene 3, the lines "That errs in ignorance and not in cunning, / I have no judgement in an honest face" suggest:

a) His mistake was innocent rather than wicked.
b) He made an intentional, deceitful error.
c) His judgment was clouded by honesty.
d) The mistake was due to overthinking.

Answer 1

The lines suggest that the mistake made was innocent rather than wicked, as the speaker admits to lacking judgment in an honest face.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines "That errs in ignorance and not in cunning, / I have no judgement in an honest face" suggest that the mistake made was innocent rather than wicked. The speaker acknowledges that they lack the ability to judge a person's true character based on their appearance. This implies that the mistake was not intentional or deceitful, but rather a result of naivety or lack of knowledge.
