Final Jeopardy Answer for September 25
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 25, 2024 is “Who is Macbeth?”
The full line from the clue said by Macbeth is “It will have blood they say: blood will have blood.” Similar to the adage “violence begets violence,” this refers to the cycle of bloodshed that is perpetuated by violence. Shakespeare used variations of the word “blood” over 40 times in Macbeth to emphasize the horror of what the character does, as spilling a king blood’s was considered a grievous sin during the time period.
Then in Act 4 an apparition says “Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to score / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth.” The witches summoned this apparition to give MacBeth a false sense of security, a supposed air of invincibility that no one will be able to hurt him in his ambition to become the king.
