What is the Quote for Lady Macbeth and violence?(Act)
"Fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty." (Act 1 Scene 5)
Technique 1:
āTop-full of direst cruelty" ā hyperbolic metaphor for her total rejction of compassion
Shows her hamartia ā giving up humanity ā power and ruthless ambition
Technique 2:
Treats herself like a vessel ā self objectification
sacrifices identity for ambition ā symbol of unstoppable desire
RAD
wish to lose compassion ā early regression ā hints collapse
Her hubristic change ā fatal flaw ā downfall
Context:
Patriarchy: Rejects femininity for ruthless ambition
Daemonologie: Her plea sounds like demonic posession to a jacobean audience
WOW:
Enrightās sprinter of evil: Lady Mās urgent call for cruelty ā fast descent to darkness
instant readiness for violence ā unchecked ambition ā to seize power
