What is a quote from Macbeth that shows the femininity of Lady Macbeth?
Lady M never shows what you might call tenderness, but she does show vulnerability as things get out of her control. In particular her line "Nought's had, all's spent, where our desire is got without content. 'Tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy." (Act III Scene 2) shows genuine and deep regret. In this scene and in scene 4 Lady M tries to deal with her husband as she used to, but he is beyond the range of her influence. At the end of scene 4, as Macbeth carries on with the bloody imagery, she says, "You lack the season of all natures, sleep." Possibly she may be sympathizing with insomnia which is one of the causes of his insanity. And then there's the line, "If he had not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it." which shows that she would have some qualms about stabbing her father to death. (Unless this is just an excuse and the truth is that Lady M can only persuade, not act on her own.)
