Lady Macbeth uses strong, violent examples of alliteration in her soliloquy to make us understand how ‘evil’ these witches are that she is calling on. After Lady Macbeth finishes reading her husbands letter, she begins to call on the ‘spirits’ to unsex her so that she can stop standing in the shadow of Macbeth. She uses alliteration in one part the most, saying ‘And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances you wait on natures mischief!’ Lady Macbeth uses the alliteration ‘murdering ministers’ to describe the witches as basically demons that kill. The sightless substances alliteration is Lady Macbeth saying that these witches are invisible and are always hiding, waiting to do bad things. This alliteration used makes us understand how evil these witches are, but this also gives us an insight on how evil Lady Macbeth is, as she wants them to help her.
