Entry 3.2

In this video it is showing the scene where Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking after the murder of the King. She seems awake and functional but in fact she is asleep. She starts speaking about the murder. She symbolizes regret and remorse. She regrets helping and convincing Macbeth to murder the King and Banquo. The archetype is a coward. She made a decision and she was very firm about it, now she is haunted by her shadow. Which is another archetype. The shadow means that's she is sleepwalking due to the fact that her "shadow" is haunting her. Her demons are after he even while she sleeps. During her monologue she is constantly rubbing her hands because she feels that she still has the blood of the king on her hands and it wont come off. This is a form a symbolism because it shows that she had a part in the murder and now she has the "blood stains" on her hands. I find it extremely interesting that at the beginning she was the one that was completely encouraging Macbeth to do the murder. She had it instilled in his brain that he deserved the throne and he had every right to kill for it. She even emasculated him and questioned his devotion to her. So after all the manipulation and brainwashing she ended up becoming tortured by her conscience. This is a lesson to all that "fair is foul and foul is fair"
