"When you durst do it, then you were a man." Most of Lady Macbeth's argument is made up of associating the commitment of the murder with his virility and manhood. She implies that he is only sexually attractive to her if he commits the murder. Once he starts to waver, she brings in the second arm of her argument: "But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail" Her second argument is that audacity will certainly succeed.
