Macbeth

This suggests a fair person with a kindness too powerful for him to be a false king, through murder. The extent of Macbeth's kind character is described as "too full o'th"milk of human kindness". This is extremely significant as "milk", similar to a mother's breast milk, is filled with the vital pureness and nutrition that a baby needs in order to grow. This can be used to mirror Macbeth's kind character to the importance of a mother's breast milk in the eyes of a newly born baby. In addition, Lady Macbeth's envy for her husband is shown through the compilation of words such as "great", "highly" and "holiliy". These words create imagery of religion and heavens to support her feelings towards Macbeth. The presence of the thought of heavens being the place of good after death can be used to mirror the extent of Macbeth's kind character. Lady Macbeth describes the action of murdering King Duncan through the words "to catch the nearest way". The use of this euphemism to describe the action of killing Duncan can be seen as though she is trying to hide the harsh imagery of blood and violence in the action of murder. This is an example of Lady Macbeth's diminishing sense of honesty. Throughout the course of the soliloquy, the developing theme of evilness continues to show through words such as "spirits" and "metaphysical" which produce an authoritative feeling of negativity. This form of negativity is extremely effective as it relates to the topic of the supernatural and unknown that causes for greater intrigue amongst the audience as a result. Also, these words being said through Lady Macbeth gives the audience an opportunity to further build their personal folio of her character. The idea of having to call upon the "spirits" and gods, the most divine of beings also can be interpreted to suggest multiple meanings. The fact that Lady Macbeth has to call upon the most powerful of beings suggests the extent of Macbeth's kindness, that only the most commanding of beings has the dominance to sway Macbeth's conscience.
