These
deeds must not be thought
After
those ways; so, it will make us mad.
-Lady Macbeth
Macbeth Act II, Scene ii, Line 45
Let’s see, Macbeth has just murdered Duncan, and he is clearly quite upset over what he’s just done. Lady Macbeth, not the least bit upset about the murder of Duncan, is trying to settle her husband down. She is the one of this couple who appears to be most resolved to the course they have chosen, and the least troubled by it. But remember, she’s also the one who’s going to be sleepwalking later on in the play, expressing her guilt. So she’s more troubled than she’s willing to admit. Interesting.
