Lady Macbeth questions Macbeth's courage and manhood, accusing him of cowardice for backing out of killing King Duncan despite having sworn the oath. She argues that if he wants to gain the power and status of being king, he must be willing to take violent action and not make excuses or delay, likening him to a fearful cat waiting on an opportunity that may never come. Lady Macbeth asserts that if Macbeth could share his murderous plan with her, he must have truly been ready to act at that time and should follow through now for the sake of proving his masculinity.

And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely? From this time Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour, As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteemst 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 th adage? What beast wast 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. Nor time, nor place Did then adhere, and yet you would make both: They have made themselves, and that their fitness now 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 pluckd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dashd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.
Henry 5, 2.3 (Hostess Quickly) HOST. Nay sure, hes not in hell; hes in Arthurs bosom, if ever man went to Arthurs bosom. A made a finer end, and went away and it had been any christom child. A parted evn just between twelve and one, evn at the turning o th tide; for after I saw him fumble with the sheets, and play with flowers, and smile upon his fingers end, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and a babbld of green fields. How now, Sir John? quoth I, what, man? be a good cheer. So a cried out, God, God, God! three or four times. Now I, to comfort him, bid him a should not think of God; I hopd there was no need to trouble himself with any such thoughts yet. So a bade me lay more clothes on his feet. I put my hand into the bed and felt them, and they were as cold as any stone; then I felt to his knees, and so upard and upard, and all was as cold as any stone.
