From the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty

           From not only head to toe but "crown to toe" as if these evil ideas of becoming queen had already taken her over completely. The crown sat conceivably on her head atop of these wicked plans to make sure her opportunity was not missed. In this whole quote I felt as if Lady Macbeth theoretically grew bigger as she filled with the power of the situation. This woman could have been going crazy. She wanted to act upon all these thoughts and with whatever it took, as she dreamed to "thicken her blood" and stop her "human compassion". Casting a fog above her actions, she was definitely going to go through with them. Whatever it took to get the crown.

           I also feel as if this quote brings back up the topic of unjust feminism. This idea that she needed to "unsex" herself before having such deep ideas, that a woman isn't capable of embodying this sense. She even pushes gender barriers when she refers to her husband as one who is full of "milk of human kindness". She doesn't even really replace her husband in this situation because he already was one who was not weak, but more soft.  Lady Macbeth took a strong role and played her part in the future of her husband and herself.
