What evidence from the text supports the idea that Lady Macbeth questions her husband's resolve to kill the king? A. What thou w
ouldst highly, / That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, / And yet wouldst wrongly win. B. Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be / What thou art promised. C. Hie thee hither, / That I may pour my spirits in thine ear D. Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem / To have thee crowned withal.
A. What thou wouldst highly, / That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, / And yet wouldst wrongly win.
Explanation:
In Act 1 Scene V of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", we see lady Macbeth reading the letter from her husband telling her about the three witches' prophecy and his desire to be king. It is there then that Lady Macbeth made her monologue, saying that he does indeed want to be king but doesn't seem to have the mean streak or the courage to actually do anything 'illegal' that will help him attain the crown of Scotland. The quoted lines of Lady Macbeth's speech says of his (Macbeth's) desire to get what isn't his but doesn't seem to have the guts or bravery to be ruthless, even in killing the king.
