Question
read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2, of the tragedy of macbeth.
sergeant. yes;
as sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.
if i say sooth, i must report they were
as cannons overchargd with double cracks;
so they
doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:
except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
or memorize another golgotha,
i cannot tell-
but i am faint, my gashes cry for help.
duncan. so well thy words become thee as thy wounds;
they smack of honour both. go, get him surgeons.
exit sergeant, attended.
what do the stage directions show about the sergeant?
he has been badly injured.
he dies during the scene.
he pays attention to others.
he leaves the stage with others.
The sergeant says "my gashes cry for help" which indicates he is injured. The stage direction "Exit Sergeant, attended" implies he is in a state that requires assistance (due to injury). The other options: there's no indication he dies during the scene; the text focuses on his injury not on him paying attention to others; and the fact that he is attended (likely by those helping an injured person) points more to his injury than just leaving with others in a normal way.
