Theme: Lady Macbeth as Tragic Heroine
Act 1 Scene 5 lines 73-75
He that's coming
Must be provided for: and you shall
put
This night's great business into
my dispatch.
Speaker: Lady Macbeth
Speaking to: Macbeth
Brief description of the circumstances:
Lady Macbeth is convincing
her husband to leave all the death plans of King Duncan to her, because
she is full of evil and knows what to do .
These lines develop the theme
that Lady Macbeth can be seen as the true tragic hero of the play
because she just wants what's best for her husband, a good and respectful
life. But this can only be achieved by the death of the king
thus giving her the title of the tragic hero. This
is tragic because she is doing something wrong.
