Hi everyone !
I'm working on a MCPQ about the Scottish play (whose name must not be quoted, as you know... ) by Will Shakespeare and I found myself quite at a loss with one of the questions .
Elizabethan English is not really my cup of tea :crash: , that's why I submit it to you .
Here's the question :
The statement of Lord Caithness that the Scottish Thane «cannot buckle his distemper'd cause Within the belt of rule» (actV, scene IV) means that :
A-his forces are disorganized and beyond his control .
B-He is furious because his soldiers disobey orders .
C-He will have to surrender to the legitimate government .
(Personally , I'd answer A)
Could you please help me understand this weird statement ?
Thank you in advance !:)
