Answer:
1) This ‘apple bright’ attracts the attention of his enemy, who then sneaked into the speaker’s garden one night and ate the apple from this tree; when the speaker finds his enemy the next morning, his foe is lying dead under the tree, having eaten the poisoned fruit.
2)The enemy may have stolen the apple (and trespassed on the speaker’s property – he ‘stole’ into his garden, after all), but he was deceived into thinking that something deadly and poisonous (the speaker’s anger) was something nice and tasty (the apple).
Answer:
Q1. The apple is bright because
1) It is intended to attract foe
2)It is intended to tempt the foe
3) it is conniving devised to hide the bitterness
Q2. The speaker’s enemy stole into the garden .He came stealthily to steal the apple from the speaker’s apple tree.
