and forth All right we're done These lines indicate that
- 00:25
antonio is what these lines right here but for your
- 00:29
conscience And here the potential answers in these lines sebastian
- 00:36
asks antonio if it weighs on his conscience that he
- 00:39
stabbed his brother prospero in the back and took his
- 00:43
throne Antonio's reply Conscience What conscience So what does this
- 00:49
tell us about the sort of person that antonio is
- 00:52
Well choice is completely ruled out There's Nothing loyal or
- 00:55
trustworthy about stabbing your brother in the back Yeah Then
- 00:59
there's choice See which is kind of on the right
- 01:01
track but not completely irreverent means disrespectful Which antonio is
- 01:07
But we've got no evidence that he's particularly brave to

that he's speaking like a shakespearean character anyway And that
- 01:37
doesn't count because after all he is a shakespearean characters
- 01:40
The correct answer is b way Have all the evidence
- 01:43
we need to convict antonio of being treacherous meaning that
- 01:46
he's prone to be trail He also pleads guilty to
- 01:49
being unscrupulous when he admits that he doesn't feel guilty
- 01:52
about stabbing his brother in the back Could we get
