unsex me here
This powerful and evocative line is uttered by Lady Macbeth as she calls upon supernatural forces to strip her of her femininity and fill her with ruthless determination and ambition. By asking to be "unsexed," Lady Macbeth is expressing a desire to transcend traditional gender roles and expectations in order to gain the strength and cruelty necessary to carry out the violent deeds that will propel her husband, Macbeth, to the power he wishes for.
