What is Lady Macbeth's second reason in her argument with Macbeth?

When Macbeth says he is not interested in continuing with the business of killing Duncan, Lady Macbeth calls him a coward.  Then she tells him that if he were a man, he would do it.


When Macbeth hears about the witches’ prophecies, he writes a letter to his wife telling her about them.  He is all ready to do it until he actually gets home and realizes he has to kill Duncan in his house. ...

When Macbeth says he is not interested in continuing with the business of killing Duncan, Lady Macbeth calls him a coward.  Then she tells him that if he were a man, he would do it.


When Macbeth hears about the witches’ prophecies, he writes a letter to his wife telling her about them.  He is all ready to do it until he actually gets home and realizes he has to kill Duncan in his house.  Then he loses his nerve.


He tells Lady Macbeth that he doesn’t want to do it anymore, and it turns out she was right when she said he was “too full o' the milk of human kindness” to do it.  She decides that she is not going to turn back and proceeds to goad and nag him into it.


First, she calls him a coward.



 … Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' the adage?(Act 1, Scene 7) 



Then, she tells him that he is not a man if he doesn’t do it.



What beast was't, then,
That made you break this enterprise to me?
When you durst do it, then you were a man;
And, to be more than what you were, you would
Be so much more the man. (Act 1, Scene 7)



When Macbeth asks if they should fail, she tells him “But screw your courage to the sticking-place,/And we'll not fail.”  She is convinced that once Macbeth does it and kills the king, they will be fine.  No one will suspect them, because Macbeth wasn’t in line to be king.  Malcolm was named successor.  Lady Macbeth thinks they’ll be in the clear if her husband will just be a man.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm.

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.)

She makes public appearances with him, but there may be some awkwardness between them because of her inability to have children.
