This can be seen in the quotation "make thick my blood;". This quotation shows the audience that lady Macbeth is quite demanding character, which turns out to be a reoccurring theme in the play, she uses demanding languages which suggests that she is an unladylike lady. An alternative view on this quotation could be that the bloody connotations foreshadow a common theme in the play, and that Lady Macbeth will be central, or involved, in it. The adjective 'thick' gives off the idea of something that is messy and hard to overcome, which could make the audience question lady Macbeth character.  The extract would affect a Shakespearean audience more that a modern audience; in the Shakespearean time the existence and importance of women was very strictly laid out, if one didn't fit the criteria than it was seen as outrageous, lady Macbeth didn't only not fit the criteria but when was so far from what a lady was in that day that based on her personality anyone would have guessed her to be a power hungry man. Lady Macbeth speaks in a demanding way, she also speaks of topics that would have disgraced and shocked the audience. A modern audience would have very much thought that in the scene Shakespeare made lady Macbeth more off-putting, but that fact that she is a woman wouldn't affect the audiences opinion quite as much. The semi colon at the end of the quotation could suggest that there is more to be said by lady Macbeth that would be as bad or worse; alternatively it could imply that there is more bloody and off-putting scenes to come through out the play. ]]> 2017-01-08 23:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vidaseleva/74cuvcc01xlm/wish/145885477
