- Lady Macbeth
- "look like th'innocent flower, But be the serpent under't"
- biblical reference to evil; as the snake genesis tempts Adam and Eve
- connotations of evil as Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth to be two faced
- evil on the inside but nice and kind on the outside to others; decieving
- "out damned spot! Out I say!"
- trying to wash her hands free of Duncan's blood
- Ironic as she is now feeling guilt more than Macbeth: showing that roles are starting to switch, as theirs an imbalance of power
- signs of her going mad as she is hallucinating
- "the raven himself in hoarse/That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan"
- planning the death of Duncan
- ravens have connotations of death and bad news suggesting that Duncan will not survive
- "when you durst to do it then you were a man"
- pressuring Macbeth into committing the deed of killing Duncan
- subversion of gender roles
- power over her husband
- female overpoweringa male; unexpected in the era,
- as men were expected to be the more powerful sex and women were expected to be inferior
- "look like th'innocent flower, But be the serpent under't"
