Question

After refusing one of these objects and a man’s “naked breast,” one character says “be angry when you will, it shall have scope.” One character flees to Ireland because “where we are, there’s [these objects] in men’s smiles.” One character describes a couple sleeping guards as “steeped in the colors of their trade” after they are found with these objects. One man ends a speech by claiming he is (15[1])keeping one of these objects “for myself,” to use “when it shall please my (*) country.” In one soliloquy, the title character asks if one of these objects is “a false (-5[1])creation proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain” before murdering Duncan. Upon seeing a man about to (10[1])use one of these (10[1])objects, the title character of one play asks “Et tu, (10[1])Brute?” For 10 (10[1])points, name these objects that Macbeth “sees before me,” which are used to kill Julius Caesar.
