Lady Macbeth’s Cat
Letting “I dare not” wait upon “I
would”
-Macbeth I.vii.48
Lady
Macbeth wrangled with Macbeth during dinner
At
cross purposes outside the banqueting hall
A
privy conference as to who was the worse sinner
She
thought him weak; he, that she was full of gall
She
wanted one thing, and he another
He
yelled that she was unreasonable and demanding
She
screamed that he never liked her mother
And
on and on, outside on the landing
The
argument was about, as it came to pass,
What
dress she should wear to the king’s funeral mass
Afterword:
Oh,
and that’s all to the story, no more than that;
She
had little to say about the cat
