Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood; Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature  \nShake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature's mischief! Come, thick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,  \nThat my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry 'Hold, hold!'  \nStarting with this extract, how does Shakespeare present Macbeth as a dangerous character?  \nWrite about:  \n• how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a dangerous character in this extract  \n• how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a dangerous character in the play as a whole  \n[30 marks]  \n[AO4 4 marks]  \nShakespeare: Macbeth  \nRead the following extract from Act 1 Scene 7 and answer the question that follows.

But in these cases We still have judgment here; that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice To our own lips. He's here in double trust;  \nFirst, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off; And pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air,  \nShall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind.
