lady Macbeth is seeming like a bit of a cow up at this point in the play. the lead of which she has kept Macbeth on so far is getting increasingly shorter oddly as she gets more masculine. since the beginning with her stating to the spirits to "unsex me here" she has been more and more controlling and more and more disturbing. this has happened up to the point were she wants to "plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed his brains out" signifying her lack of maternal nature and rejection of femininity. i believe that it is here when Rather then transgressing from woman to man (like she wants to) she transgresses from woman to a supernatural or insane. i believe this because she starts to equivocate more, like the witches in act one, and her language becomes more deceptive "sleek o'er your rugged looks". she seems the more confident of the two at the moment and as Macbeth has doubts she tries to confront him "you must leave this", "be bright and jovial". this could be due to how she has become more supernatural and separated herself from her emotions and has become slightly more inhuman.
gutted Macbeth, your whipped!
