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
Her reflection on killing Duncan
Who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?
