  litotes(under-exaggeration)= her omnipotent ambitions blind her from the mental turmoil Macbeth is experiencing. - her callousness becomes apparent too as she mentions " a little" to trivialise the murder but also emasculate macbeth - euphemism -"deed" rather than murder- highlighting the conflicting aspect of her character, despite her ambitions to shed her feminine traits, she struggles to understand the seriousness of the act.
