Macbeth, Act 1 Scene 6
This quotation comes from William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." It is spoken by Lady Macbeth in Act 1, Scene 5. She is referring to the raven as a symbol of death and impending doom.
She berates the servant who brought the news. "Thou'rt mad to say it." Then she gloats. "The raven himself is hoarse who croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements."
This is the reference to a bird in Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 5: "The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements." Ravens have many symbolic meanings, both positive and negative, but in this case it seems clear that she is using a raven as a symbol or harbinger of death.
One example of sarcasm in Macbeth is when Lady Macbeth responds to Macbeth's hesitation to murder Duncan by saying, "Infirm of purpose!/ Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead/Are but as pictures" (Act 2, Scene 2). This sarcastic remark implies that she sees no difference between killing a sleeping man and looking at a painting.
