3:2 Macbeth Act 1 scene 5




    This is one of the most important scene in the play because it shows how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth discussed killing the King. This scene also shows how Lady Macbeth questioned Macbeth's manhood and seduces him in order to convince him into killing King Duncan.Lady Macbeth's archetype of the temptress is extremely strong in this scene. She says " Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great;Art not without ambition; but without The illness should attend it." These is saying that Lady Macbeth questions if Macbeth has strength to seize the crown, but he is to weak or lacks enough aggression to capture his opportunity to become king. She also is saying that Macbeth wants to act like a good man and not cheat but yet he wants what doesn't belong to him. Secondly,when she is talking about killing King Duncan and inheriting all of the power it appears that she is having a sexual organism. When she sees that Macbeth is hesitant in killing the king she kisses him multiply times and ensures  that everything will go as planned. They close the deal by having a deep passionate kiss.
