lady macbeth talking about macbeth how everyone cherished him at the start of play but they really did not realise the true side of macbeth and what crimes he can commit to which should be suprising as macbeth claims to be a religious man but then acts the way he acts . also thhe people audience would not think that a duke or a king would ever do such thing just for their ambition well maybe this is another view to reflect that at the end of the day we cannot trust anyone

lady macbeth commanding and demanding for the spot to disappear but its not hearing her
used to giving orders to macbeth therefore uses it in every situation

Question 16

come you spirits unsex me here

Answer 16

LM asking the spirits or witches to give her traits of a man so she can fufill the duties of the murder without feeling guilty
however asking the spirits exemplifies the relationship with the witches being close and asking for help
maybe lm does certainly believe they can change and help her
the manipulator being manipulated shows the power and intrusity of the witches maybe this is because they are unnatural and out of this world however even hecate came down and explained how this is not right what theyre supposed to be doing

Question 17

will these hands ever be clean

Answer 17

lm macbeth looking at her hands hallucinating near the end of play contrasting herself at the beggining from being independs cruel and not showing signs of vulnerability and struggle but here we are witnessing lm on her death bed showing signs of guilt eventually building up on her without realising i. LM just proved to not do anything that is not in the divine orders because if you do listen to the witches and ask for their help it will always turn back on you no matter the circumstances

Question 18

unseamed him from the nave to th chaps

Answer 18

from the belly button macbeth has cut someone with a sword up to his chin really highlights how violent and merciless the man is
however show his way of protecting the country and fighting for what he thinks is good

Question 19

turn hellhound turn

Answer 19

the repetition of the word ‘‘turn’’ really reveals that macduff is being deadly serious
and the word turn also might suggest that macduff wants macbeth too turn so he can face the consequences of being a murderer and murdering his family
and finally presenting macbeth as all throughout the play he was a nobody because in the end he died
the word ‘‘hellhound’’ is a very rude insult to call someone as it involves the devil so calling macbeth the devil and everything to prove macbeths worthlessness and not being trustworthy to our goda and our friends
