    Macbeth is man, and therefore has a penis. Lady Macbeth is crazy and a woman, or at least the character is supposed to be female. In ages past men played women on stage, so she would be portrayed by a man, whom would presumably have a penis, like Macbeth. Macbeth takes place on an island, where they may or may not eat corn, the indians call corn maze. In conclusion scotland is a land of contrast.

    From Shmoop Lit/Macbeth and girl Macbeth Timelines Macbeth has murdered Duncan and appears slightly panicky. It stresses Macbeth out that his try and say "amen" stuck in his throat. He appears genuinely distressed; as he was murdering he also heard wild voices promise him he would sleep no more, as he had murdered sleep itself. He refuses to go back to the room to smear the king’s guards with the king’s blood and alternatively laments that not even the ocean could easy his palms of this deed. Girl Macbeth has drugged the guards and claims she is made robust through what weakens the others. She sees Macbeth, who's out of types after having achieved the deed. She is stuffed with reassuring words, and urges him to not consider so deeply of what’s achieved, but seem to the great that may be received through it. She urges Macbeth to move wash his fingers whilst she places Duncan’s blood on the sound asleep guards. She then takes Macbeth to mattress so that they don’t seem suspicious later.
