LADY MACBETH:
Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures:" 'tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil." If he do bleed,
I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal;
For it must seem their guilt.
Re-enter LADY MACBETH
LADY MACBETH:
My hands are of your colour; but I shame
To wear a heart so white.
I hear a knocking
At the south entry: retire we to our chamber;
A little water clears us of this deed:
How easy is it, then! "Your constancy
Hath left you unattended."
1-Does "painted devil" means imaginary devil?
2-As I underestand " Your constancy
Hath left you unattended"one means: your firmness has gone. but somewhere I read it means your lack of firmness has gone. which one is correct?
