Macbeth

Themes, character revelation, dramatic devices, poetic devices and plot development in this quote?

The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements. 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 Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Act 1 Scene 5

Your question asks too much detail for this short space. L. Macbeth is basically asking the spirits to turn her into a man so she can have the courage to kill king Duncan. This really gives the reader a sense of L.Macbeth's ruthlessness or rather how she tries to show that she is ruthless. It is ironic because she already more ruthless than any male character in the play.
