"Thou" and "Prose" emphasise both the Macbeths' low status'. This is juxtaposed with the aspiration of "greatness". Macbeth is subtly proving LM with a reason for regicide; status.

"Milk of Human Kindness"
Role Reversal: M is "too full of milk". LM wants to replace her "milk for gall". Milk = Femininity. M=feminine. LM=masculine.
"Milk" = Macbeth is feminised, seen as a coward, belittled...
When LM says "take my milk for gall", LM doesn't want to epitomise her husband.
"Unsex me here"
LM can only achieve power in this patriarchal society by becoming masculine. Jacobean Society sees this as evil, but is a natural, human response to this society.
