Lady Macbeth (L.M.) Flashcards
Macbeth’s view of her
Bring forth men-children only
Hostess x3
Honoured hostess; fair and noble hostess; by your leave, hostess
Her decision to murder Duncan
O never / Shall sun that morrow see
Calling the supernatural
Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / Fill me from the crown to the toe topfull / Of direst cruelty
What she wants the supernatural to do
Come to my woman’s breasts / And take my milk for gall
Passing the supernatural onto Macbeth
Hie thee hither, / That I may pour my spirits in thine ear / And chastise thee with the valour of my tongue
Calling Macbeth the opposite of brave
Live a coward in thine own esteem
Telling Macbeth to be deceiving
Look like th’ innocent flower, / But be the serpent under ‘t
A show of her humanity
Had he not resembled / My father as he slept, I had done ‘t
What the doctor says about her
Not so sick, my lord, / As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies / That keep her from her rest
Her smelling something on her hands
Here’s the smell of the blood still; all the perfumes of / Arabia will not sweeten this little hand
Her commanding blood
Out damned spot! Out, I say!
Stage direction of her suicide
A cry of women within
The announcement of her suicide
By self and violent hands / Took off her own life
What she says while sleepwalking
Hell is murky
