Prompt 1:
Upon reading Macbeth's letter and learning of the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will
be king, Lady Macbeth begins to plot Duncan's murder and asks the spirits to" unsex
(her) here, and fill (her) from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty" (Act 1.Scene
5. Lines 41-43) Based on what you have read and seen in the text, why do you think
she has such a negative view of her gender? In her perspective, how may becoming
more "masculine" resolve these issues for her?
