Act 5
Scene 1
Form
this scene is in prose and Lady M's earlier speech and most of the play excluding the characters that are not noble,royal(Gentlewoman, Doctor, Porter)
-
now, prose - fragmented speech and moving from one incdient to another which reflects her anarchic, disorderly state of mind and reflects the abundance of problems and guilt and tragic events she is stuck with
-
-
Lady M speaking like non-royal characters - loss of articulation and eloquence associated with royalty
-
-
'A little water clears us of this deed' contrasts 'all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand'
-
parallel structure to Macbeth's 'will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood/ Clean from my hand? No'
shows she and Macbeth are moving in contrary motion - he is now detatched like she was and she i now feeling immense guilt
Lady M was there to alleviate M's deterioration in mental health - Banquo's ghost - but he wasn't there for her
-
-
is now hyper-sensitive
fits gender roles even though she portrays a dislike for femininity by making fun of M for not acting like a man but wihsing for herself to not act like a woman
