Lady Macbeth

Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts

murd’ring ministers…unsex me here

Lady Macbeth’s supernatural instincts

She is desperate

Fill me from the toe top full of direst cruelty

Evil

Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it

• Lady Macbeth advises Macbeth to present a facade of innocence in order to mask their evil intentions

• The contrast encapulates Lady Macbeth’s character

• It reveals her cunning and evil nature- she uses her looks and fake personality to get what she wants

When you durst do it, then you were a man

• Lady Macbeth tries to attack Macbeth’s masculinity to lead him into killing Duncan

• She questions his manhood

I have given suck and know…How tender tis to love the babe that milks me

Here’s the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand

She should have died hereafter

Out, out brief candle- Macbeth
