Damn, the woman is terrifically evil. Does she ever know how to drive Macbeth! And her Act I, Scene v soliloquy about the demons is priceless.

Macbeth, you easily manipulated wimp! Bow to your psychotic wife!

:rofl:

1. She also inspired the "Dick and Jane" reading primers
"Out, damned Spot!" Brilliant first grade reading.

5. I like her up until she wigs-out from guilt and remorse.
Up to that point, she had the makings of a truly first-rate evil character, as good as Richard III (the fictionalized one). Then she starts all the 'out damned spot,' stuff and goes nuts: a feeble copout.

I'd have liked it if she'd played all the macho men for fools and ended up ruling Scotland herself.
