Lady Macbeth's opening speech in Act 1, Scene 5 reveals her ambition and desire for power. She asks the spirits to unsex her and fill her with cruelty to help her commit the murderous deeds she desires. This speech sets the tone for her character and foreshadows the role she will play in driving Macbeth to carry out his murderous plans.
