"Fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty!"
For most people, if they aren't mental or insane, it takes a lot for them to murder someone. They have to not only deal with the actual trouble they can get into if they are caught, but they also have to deal with the emotional distraught and constant worrying of their actions surfacing. This goes a long with what Lady Macbeth says in her soliloquy. She explains in her old-English way that someone needs to be completely full of evil and cruelty to complete or even consider completing such an act. She knows her husband will be unable to commit such a terrible crime because he doesn't have the ability to be so cruel. However, she believes if she is able to posses enough cruelty for they both of them she can carry out what needs to be done. This kind of relates back to the blog we did a couple weeks ago about greed. How people will do almost anything to get the gold and the gold in this case is the crown. Lady Macbeth is willing to possibly ruin her reputation if caught so her husband can have a chance at royalty, the crown and the riches.
