Unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty. | Lady Macbeth thinks women are perceived as weak and wants to be a man to commit murder. |
Too full o’ th’milk of human kindness. | Lady Macbeth says Macbeth is feminine in a bad way. |
Take my milk for gall. | She wants her womanly features gone. |
Why then, alas, do I put up that womanly defence, to say I have done no harm? | Lady Macduff realized that acting the woman will get her nowhere. |
God help thee, poor monkey. | Lady Macduff is maternal as she fondly refers to her son. |
