Lady Macbeth - Act 2

1. "After these ways; so, it will make us mad" (A2)

   • She does become mad later in the play

2. "Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I had done't" (S2)

   • Duncan looked like LM's father so she couldn't kill him and M goes in to finish the murder - 1st time we see LM has a soft side contrasts to her usual controlling behaviour

3. "A little water clears us of this deed. How easy is it then!"

   • LM finds the guilt easy to get rid of; later on in the play she repeatedly washes her hands
