Lady Macbeth

“I have given suck, and know, How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me; I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.”. [ . . . ]. Lady Macbeth.

  1. “I have given suck, and know,How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me;I would, while it was smiling in my face,Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gumsAnd dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as youHave done to this.” [ . . . ] Lady Macbeth “Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood; Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature's mischief!”

  2. Q U E S T I O N S : 1) Who is Lady Macbeth? 2) Which archetype/s does the text invoke? i.e. Which archetype/s does Lady Macbeth represent here? 3) How does the text convey an archetype? Use examples from the text, focusing on devices (symbolism, etc) and techniques. 4) Does it confirm the archetype or does it subvert the archetype? This doesn’t have to be an either/or dichotomy—multiple, competing discourses can compete within one text.
