Lady Macbeth Amongst the most essential of characters in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare is Lady Macbeth. Upon the introduction of Act 1 Scene 5, Lady Macbeth is brought into the plot of the play. In this soliloquy, Lady Macbeth comments on her thoughts after having read a letter from her husband, Macbeth, informing her about the witches’ prophecies on the possibility of Kingship. A variety of well-known topics are explored, including the revelation of the true traits of characters such as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. ... -Lady Macbeth, Act 1 Sc5, Lines 13 – 28 Her first thoughts are based on the reaction of the realism of Macbeth being Thane of Glamis, and possibly Cawdor as the witches predicted. ... This being Lady Macbeth’s first appearance in the play is effective as it allows the reader to associate this sense of spirituality and evil with her character, that has yet to have any substance to allow the reader to interpret her role by. She continues by expressing her fear over not being able to catch the nearest way due to Macbeth’s overly kind character. ... For example, Lady Macbeth explains how her husband would ‘not play false’ nor would he ‘wrongly win’. ... The extent of Macbeth’s kind character is described as too full o’th’milk of human kindness. ... 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.
