 Studying William Shakespeare's play Macbeth? Let's do some word-level analysis on what the character of Lady Macbeth says once Macbeth kills King Duncan. In Act 2 Scene 2, her reaction to the death of Duncan is a contrast to Macbeth. She says in firm of purpose and this exclamatory sentence shows her disgust of Macbeth's worry and fear after killing the King. She tells Macbeth, give me the daggers and this imperative sentence, which is command sentence, shows how she's taking charge of this situation. It's all masterminded by her. She mentions the sleeping and the dead are butters pictures and this metaphor is basically saying that dead people, when you look at them, they just look like pictures. This shows just how cruel her nature is. She further mocks Macbeth by saying, Tis the eye of childhood that fears the painted devil. Here what she's saying is that it's only children who are scared of dead bodies mocking Macbeth for his humanity and this is emphasised with the litteration of tea. She uses the verb guild to say that she's going to frame the grooms of people that are supposed to be guarding King Duncan, showing again she's quite fraught.
