This is the scene about when the Lady Macbeth just finished reading the letter from her husband and went into a monologue that her anxiety about Macbeth’s nature of which “too full o’ the milk of human kindness, to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great: art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly. That wouldst thou holily: wouldst not play false, and yet wouldst wrongly win”. After the messenger had told the Lady Macbeth that the king would come to the Macbeth’s castle, Lady Macbeth made a firm determination that become cruel in order to achieve her purpose which was to help Macbeth hold the sovereign position. I think this scene describes a basic instinct of human beings that is goodness. I think that human nature is basically good, but it might turn into bad because of the surrounding circumstances or those around us. Lady Macbeth described Macbeth as “too full o’ the milk of human kindness”. Milk refers to mother, and mother is kind. Actually, Macbeth was not that bad at first, but Lady Macbeth drove him to alter cruelly.
