Lady Macbeth's Language in Act 1 and Act 5

Macbeth, a story written by Williams Shakespeare, is of love, murder,

guilt, greed, revenge, and power. The story is about a man called

Macbeth, who is one of the guards to the king of Scotland, Out of

desire to become a king, murdered the king and became the king of

Scotland. His wife, lady Macbeth who is the master planner of the

plot, supported her husband throughout the time of the king's murder

and both her and her husband were crowned king and queen of Scotland.

Macbeth loses out of the plot, and then starts killing more and more

people and when he forms the habit of seeing the dead bodies of the

people he already killed, at their burial ceremonies, his wife told

him to get his heart together, but Macbeth loses himself and his wife

couldn't understand him anymore and it was then that the guilt of what

she had done started setting in on her. He was later killed in a

battle.

We first meet Lady Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5, She is reading a letter

from her husband, Macbeth. In the letter Lady Macbeth read that

Macbeth could be king. They are both intimate because Macbeth reveals

everything to her and he also calls her "My dearest partner of

greatness". After reading the letter she soliloquises in blank verse

saying that Macbeth is kind "Yet do I fear thy nature, it is too full

o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way". She sees

Macbeth as a good, gentle and soft character full of inner goodness.

She worries that Macbeth is too noble to commit murder. She called on

the evil spirits, she said " Come you spirit that tend on mortal

thoughts, unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe top-

full of direst cruelty". She called on the evil spirit to make her

ruthless and make her more like a man, free from her womanly qualities

and then the evil spirit took over her.
