Detailed explanation-1: -In Act I Scene 5, Lady Macbeth demands that the spirits ‘Make thick [her] blood’. Here blood is seen as a natural function of the human body, one that feeds the human capacity for compassion and repentance-things she does not want. ‘Make thick my blood’ is a metaphor, representing life and death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Act 1, scene 5 Lady Macbeth reads her husband’s letter about his meeting the witches. She fears that Macbeth lacks the ruthlessness he needs to kill Duncan and fulfill the witches’ second prophecy. When she learns that Duncan is coming to visit, she calls upon supernatural agents to fill her with cruelty.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth’s reaction when she reads her husband’s letter is powerful and dramatic. As soon as she’s finished reading, she has decided she will make sure Macbeth is king. It’s as if she and her husband are thinking exactly the same thing. She does not hesitate for a moment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Page 17, 1.5“Stop up th’ access and passage to remorse…”. She means that she wants to be strong and have no remorse in her heart to get this done. She is firing herself up to be strong. Lady Macbeth was out drinking with the guards and now she is fired up to proceed in killing Duncan.
