Great video! Lady Macbeth is the perfect villain. I mean, cmon...COME ON! Nobody can say to my face that they don't have at least a little love and admiration for vendictive and almost pure evil villains.
With this idea that she has to instead bear a child of chaos and violence, could you also say that when she proclaims to Macbeth that to keep her vow of killing Duncan she would have killed her baby and "dashed the brains out" it is actually her maternal instincts shining through. This promise to commit the heinous act of regicide is the child of chaos she feeds with her gall of evil, and so any natural child is almost obsolete; she could kill the milk-fed child in order to protect the gall fed-one. Her body is now only fit for the purpose of nurturing her diabolical plans, and so when they inevitably become out of her control (as any teenage child does) she cannot re-assume a normal role in society. In her patriarchal times, a woman's one trajectory is based on the body. The almost buying of the body by the man who marries them, and the bearing and nurturing of children. Her husband is corrupt and commonly unable to support her needs, and her milk is now gall; she is permanently infertile. Once this scheme fails, she cannot try it again.
Could you say that she asks to be 'unsexed' because of her existentialist nature as Lady Macbeth perhaps believes that her freedom in fulfilling the maternal role will only allow Lady Macbeth to bring the change she as a woman wants in the patriarchal society? I mean, maybe Lady Macbeth has the core belief that she can create a purpose in life with children, particularly a son. Perhaps it will give her more freedom to be powerful and respected in the eyes of men. I watched your video on existentialism and essentialism and tried applying it here :)
So... are you arguing that LM wants to have a son, because by having a son she can wield power against a patriarchal society? But she asks to be "unsexed" though...?
@@JenChan I think I was confusing myself for no reason! So LM's plea to be "unsexed" is perhaps only to 'summon paradoxical birth of death - i.e. the violent conception of regicide?' So all the imagery of childbirth, pregnancy and the repetition of 'hold' is just a metaphor for giving birth to death through regicide, not the actual birth of a child? Did I get it right? I'd appreciate your reply, I can't wait to impress my examiner and my teacher with this alternative interpretation.

Haha agreed - I'm a secret Lady Mac fan...

Yep I think that's more like it - make sure you flesh our your explanation and substantiate with quotations, though!
@@JenChan Ahh thank you so much, this was beyond intriguing! And yes, I will embed more quotations in my explanations.
