lady macbeth

act 3 scene 2

confesses she feels little pleasure and content from ill-gotten crown

'noughts had, all spent to were our desire is got without content'

if you get what you want but still arent happy, nothings gained everythings lost, despondent tone

'tis safer to be that which we destroy then by destruction dwell in doubtful joy'

would be better to be a victim rather then have unstable joy

lady macbeth doesnt communicate her thoughts to her husband tries to comfort him

'we have scorched the snake not killed it'

extended metaphor,…
