Answer the following:
  • the speaker and the person they are speaking to
Lady Macbeth is speaking to Macbeth.

  • the context (what was happening at this point in the play)
At this point, Macbeth had just killed Duncan, but he forgot to finish the deed by leaving the knife and cleaning up. Lady Macbeth went back to finish his job.

- Analyze this passage from the Feminist perspective. 

Generally, women are portrayed and assumed to be weak, and less superior than a man. But in this case, Lady Macbeth defies that stereotype, by finishing the job that Macbeth couldn't finish because of his fear.
