Detailed explanation-1: -The only cure to Lady Macbeth ’s internal illness is an antidote that she “must minister to [her]self” (V. iii. 49). Moreover, when talking to Macbeth, the doctor announces that Lady Macbeth is not physically sick as “she is troubled with thick-coming fancies” (V.
Detailed explanation-2: -This is what he means when he says ‘’more needs she the divine than the physician. ‘’ Lady Macbeth is not in need of a doctor; she needs a priest. Instead of getting medical treatment, she needs to make a confession and seek redemption for her deeds.
