The Milk of Human Kindness was created on 2005-04-18.
The phrase "milk of human kindness" is a metaphor. It suggests a nourishing quality of compassion and benevolence that one can possess or offer to others. The imagery of milk implies gentleness and sustenance, emphasizing the importance of kindness in human relationships. This expression is famously used by Shakespeare in Macbeth to highlight the absence of compassion in the character of Macbeth.
The milk of human kindness.
He is too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way.
Well, just kindness basically. Lady Macbeth thinks her husband is "too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way" which means that he's too nice a guy to go around murdering people. Her assessment of him is correct as it turns out. The association of "milk" with kindness gives a suggestion of cowardice, as white was a colour associated with lack of courage (see "lily-livered" for example.)
To see milk in your dream, symbolizes maternal instincts and motherly love. It also denotes human kindness, wholesomeness, and compassion for new acquaintances.
It is apparently too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. Or so she says.
He is "too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way."
No. She thinks he is too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. But Macbeth's hesitation comes from caution, not kindness. Lady Macbeth is projecting her own feelings onto Macbeth--she will later say that "if he had not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it", showing that she is the one who is deterred by the "milk of human kindness". Macbeth, on the other hand, is deterred by his anticipation of the consequences of the murder. It is thoughts, not feelings, that are holding him back.
