After Macbeth decided he did not want to kill the King, Lady Macbeth told him that he needed to follow through with his promise to kill him, and she convinced him to feel like he needed to do this. She uses a difficult loss of a baby in their life to convince him of killing the king. She tells him that if she were nursing her child and staring at his smiling face, she would smash his brains out if it meant she promised someone she would. “Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me. I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dash'd the brains out, had I sworn as you Have done to this, (1.7.62-67).” Lady Macbeth is making Macbeth feel
