Lady Macbeth 
 
The setting of Macbeth's castle is a typical element to the Gothic novel which 
creates an air of mystery, suspense
...
 Hidden chambers, subterranean vaults, 
twisting corridors, and secret passages can symbolize the hidden depths of his 
mind and unknown aspects of the psyche that are beyond rational control
...
  
 
In act one scene five there are “ravens croaking on the battlements”
...
 There is violent imagery used 
by Lady Macbeth ​
“I would
...
 'unsex me here and fill me
...
 
 
The character of Lady Macbeth can be seen In Gothic literature as the Macbeth’s 
fall
...
 In Gothic literature the demon lover is 
frequently female, a ​
femme fatale ​
(fatal or deadly woman) who seduces and 
entices the protagonist to destruction
...
 
 
Lady Macbeth has her nerves shattered by guilt, gives way to sleepwalking and a 
delusional belief that her hands are stained with blood
...
 Lady Macbeth's 
dreams and uses her words to infer the cause of her distress
...
 Her 
sentences are short and unpolished, reflecting a mind too disturbed to speak 
eloquently
...
 And obviously her 'punishment' 
for trying to change her role in society is her eventual madness and suicide
