Lady Macbeth
“unsex me here” - power = masculinity, needing to rid herself of femininity
(1.5)
“come you spirits”/“come thick night” - imperative, demanding, engaging
with the supernatural (1.5)
“what beast was’t then?” - emasculation and manipulation, power dynamic
(1.7)
“make thick my blood” - make her less human (1.5)
“too full of the milk of human kindness” - M is too cowardly, emasculation
(1.7)
“shame to wear a heart so white” - innocence of white, shameful for her -
masculinity she is stronger than him (?)
“plucked my nipple from its boneless gums…dash’d its brains out” -
violence, infanticide, power, subverting motherly role, desensitised, no
consideration (1.7)
“take my milk for gull” - replace something nurturing with something violent,
inhumane (1.5)
“then you were a man” - emasculation
“In rm of purpose” - @ M , he is a coward who can’t be brave enough to do
what he has to, emasculation (2..)
“perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand” - guilt,
little=juxtaposition, vulnerable
“out damned spot out I say” - blood as a motif for guilt, hallucination,
religious imagery
trying to stay around the light frantically and desperately: trying to get God’s
forgiveness for her nihilistic beliefs and actions
