This video discusses :
PLOT:
— Lady Macbeth nervously waits for Macbeth to kill Duncan, says she couldn’t kill Duncan herself because he looked like her father
— Macbeth emerges from Duncan’s chamber with bloody hands and bloody daggers, deeply regrets killing Duncan
— Lady Macbeth calls Macbeth cowardly for his regrets, takes the daggers from Macbeth and puts them with the drugged guards
— Knocking at the gate…
CHARACTER:
— Lady Macbeth: lacks “manly” courage to kill Duncan = lack of self-knowledge; stronger presence of mind than Macbeth;
— Macbeth: regretful, remorseful; alienated from self; understands he has murdered himself
THEME:
— Alienation from self: horcruxes
— Wasteland: social and psychological; the Great Chain of Being disrupted
— Hubris summons Nemesis: knocking
— Appearance vs reality
