Lady macbeth quotes

• "Come you spirits, that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here"


  Wants to be like a man

  Does not think women are strong enough to do what she wants to do

  Like a witch when she calls on the spirits

  Asking spirits to instill in her murderous ideas
• "Whats done can not be undone"


  Reflection of lady macbeths guilt and regret

  Signifies irreversible nature of their deeds and permanent stain on their conscience

  No changing the past
• "All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand"


  Vastness of her guilt

  Even the most luxurious and potent scents can not alleviate her remorse

  Hyperbole

  Realization her actions have irreparably tainted her soul

  Metaphorical representation of her guilt, vulnerability and transformation
