LM

‘That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold.’ This shows that Lady Macbeth is stronger and more mainly than people who’s job seams to suggest they should be able to drink a lot.

‘Had he not resembled My father as he slept, I had done ’t.’ I think this shows that even though she seams a monster she dose have some moral line. It also shows she must have had some sort of positive relainshonship with her dad.

‘My hands are as red as yours, but I would be ashamed if my heart were as pale and weak.’ her main weapon agents macbeth is making him feal week and unworthy.

‘A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight.’ i think this line makes her seam quite hypercritical because she said she could not kill Duncan because he looked like his dad but now she is saying mecbeth is week for regretting killing somebody.

‘Didn’t you say something?’ this shows that Lady Macbeth is keen to know what happened. it makes her seam undignified and all of her self pride and high class is forgotten when she just wants to know what happened.

  • Nice selection of quotations. When I read these back, I can’t help but focus on the personal pronouns – there seems to be a big focus on how LM belittles Macbeth – what are your thoughts?

    Targets:
    1) Be careful with those homophones.
    2) Remember to identify language or grammar devices and explore how they secure your interpretation of character – I know you are excellent at this.

    Share and Enjoy!

  • Some very well chosen quotations and explanations (where is the 5th one?), you show a clear understanding of the character and an ability to consider more than one point of view.

    To develop this try to further analyse the language chosen in order to support your point. Make sure you use the original Shakespearian text so you can do this. For example ‘shame to wear a heart so white’ – what are the connotations of white? How does Shakespeare present Lady Macbeth if she is referring to his heart as white?
