"Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promised."The theme of Macbeth is 'Power and Corruption.' This quote from early in the play is an excellent example because Lady Macbeth has been corrupted by Macbeth's letter, and now wants to corrupt Macbeth. "Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way:." She is afraid that Macbeth is too pure to murder the king in order to become king himself. "Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it." The 'illness' is the ruthlessness necessary to become king by any means necessary. Lady Macbeth has been corrupted and will corrupt Macbeth.
