okay then can you help me improve this If
this business would really be finished when I did the deed, then it would be
best to get it over with quickly. If the assassination of the king could work
like a net, sweeping up everything and preventing any consequences, then the
murder would be the be-all and end-all of the whole affair, and I would gladly
put my soul and the afterlife at risk to do it. But for crimes like these there
are still punishments in this world. By committing violent crimes we only teach
other people to commit violence, and the violence of our students will come
back to plague us teachers. Justice, being equal to everyone, forces us to
drink from the poisoned cup that we serve to others. The king trusts me in two
ways. First of all, I am his kinsman and his subject, so I should always try to
protect him. Second, I am his host, so I should be closing the door in his
murderer’s face, not trying to murder him myself. Besides, Duncan has been such
a humble leader, so free of corruption, that his virtuous legacy will speak for
him when he dies, as if angels were playing trumpets against the injustice of
his murder. Pity, like an innocent newborn baby, will ride the wind with winged
angels on invisible horses through the air to spread news of the horrible deed
to everyone everywhere. People will shed a flood of tears that will drown the
wind like a horrible downpour of rain. I can’t spur myself to action. The only
thing motivating me is ambition, which makes people rush ahead of themselves
toward disaster.

Yes, I see that you copied this from an Internet site. What questions do you have about the text?

You seem to have copied that directly from here: No Fear Shakespeare: Macbeth: Act 1, Scene 7 (I don't agree with all of it.)

[bhaisahab]

Can you help me word this better?

What is it for?

 

[Rajrajrajrajkaur]

my homework thats due into tommorow

 

[bhaisahab]

My homework that's due in tomorrow.

I'm afraid we don't do homework for people. Your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

 

[5jj]

Then I am afraid we can't help you. Your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

 

[Rajrajrajrajkaur]

please can you just help me understand it better by rewriting it

 

[5jj]

No, Rajrajrajrajkaur. It's your homework. If we helped you, we would be helping you cheat.

I doubt that we will be able to help you understand anything since you seem unable to use correct capitalisation and punctuation, despite having been shown more than once.
