Question

Read the lines from The Tempest. PROSPERO Thou liest, malignant thing. Hast thou forgot The foul witch Sycorax, who with age and envy Was grown into a hoop? Hast thou forgot her? Which words most effectively help determine the meaning of malignant as it is used in the excerpt? The Tempest thou liest hast thou forgot her was grown with age and envy

Answer 1

Answer:

Thou liest

Explanation:

By using the words thou liest, Prospero is referring to the servant as a liar, accusing him. Then, he uses the adjectives malignant thing, indicating that he thinks of him as an evil person for having lied. These two words reinforce the idea that malignant has a really bad connotation.
