Is a column similar to a stalactite and stalagmite

I guess a stalactite and a stalagmite could be referenced to a column. Although, only some could be considered column-like.

Stalactites hang from the ceiling and only on occasion do they ever reach the ground. I, myself have toured some caves and have witnessed stalactites reaching the ground, so in that way they could be referenced to a column. But the majority of them, that don't reach the ground, aren't very column-like.

Same goes with stalagmites, but these protrude from the ground, rather than hanging from the ceiling. I've never personally seen a stalagmite that has reached the ceiling of a cave and resembled a column. But I wouldn't doubt that there are a few out there.

So basically in conclusion, the majority of stalagmites and stalactites are not  similar to columns. But the few that can go to cave floor to ceiling can resemble a column.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and stay healty! :3

The primary theme of Macbeth is best described as C. the struggle between good and evil. Throughout the play, Macbeth is conflicted with his desires for power and his troubles with committing evil acts. Lady Macbeth is more ambitious than her husband but has greater difficulty with her guilt from urging her husband to commit the evil deeds. Both characters find it increasingly difficult to stop killing their obstacles to get to where they want to be. As the play progresses, one can see that once violence is used to to further one's quest for power, it becomes impossible to stop using it.
