       • "Leave all the rest to me"

2. As soon as she stops reading the letter, her full character comes to view

     • "too full o'th' milk of human kindness"
       • Milk is associated with fmeale breasts and linked to weakness
         • putting down his ego will drive him to comit the murder
     • She tries to show Mac that they are both in the same situation, however he is the one that is acting like such a coward
       • "My hands are of your colour but i shame to wear a heart so white"
