LADY MACBETH: The messenger announces Duncan’s entrance into my fortress, where he will die. Come, you evil spirits, make me less like a woman and more like a man, and fill me from head to toe with deadly cruelty! Thicken my blood and clog up my veins so I won’t feel guilty, so that no human emotion can stop my evil plan or prevent me from accomplishing it! Come to my female body and turn my mother’s milk into poisonous acid, you murdering demons, wherever you hide, invisible and waiting to do evil! Come, thick night, and cover the world in the darkest smoke of hell, so that my sharp knife can’t see the wound it cuts open, and so heaven can’t peep through the darkness and cry, “No! Stop!” Is Lady Macbeth too powerful? Read her speech again and try all 3 tasks!
