 Studying Macbeth. Let's look at Lady Macbeth quotes and especially how she reacts to Macbeth killing King Duncan. In Act 2 Scene 2 she says, My hands are of your colour but I shame to wear a heart so white. In other words, she's embarrassed that Macbeth is so shocked at having killed the King. The pronoun Mai shows she's completely scheming and heartless. Words hand and heart belong to the semantic field of body parts. The assonance of O in of your colour show that her hands are just as bloody as Macbeth, adrenched in King Duncan's blood. But this, far from making her scared, she's actually proud that they've gone through with the deed. This is zero after colour show, she's pausing out of disgust. A heart so white is a metaphor referring to how she believes Macbeth is still too pure. He still cares too much about the fact that he's killed King Duncan and committed regicide. Here we can see that she does not care about divine right of kings. Of course what Lady Macbeth says here ties into context. She completely goes against what was expected of Elizabethan women. She is not fragile, she is also very murderous and this led many people to see her as the fourth witch.
